EK Wifi Coverage map
I know the Wifi login pages (onboard.aero) were redesigned a month or two ago, but hadn't opened them on my laptop until today. I noticed they now include a coverage map, which I downloaded and am posting here for future reference for anyone who may be interested, as I think this isn't accessible other than via OnAir?

This means that to/from ICN OnAir does not work for most of the flight

Well, if internet over China is anything like internet in China many of us may find it just doesn't work. While in China I remember all of my Google service being unavailable and it made it feel like I wasn't connected at all.

A friend of mine, flying on EK last year, sent me some Whatsapp messages about an hour before landing in PEK so it does work (sometimes

On a semi-related note- checked into the "B" business lounge this evening and the woman at the front desk checked a print out she had on her desk (unprompted) to tell me that my flight tonight had wi-fi available....the 48min flight time flight from Dubai back to Bahrain.
This may be useful information for some, but seems a little odd to me.
