As Gold in Y when I logged in yesterday I only got 20MB free on EK525, then no WiFi on EK55 after that . Will see next week when I fly again.

@skywardhunter what do you think happened on your previous flight? Why didn't you get free internet there as well?

UPDATE: Sent a DM to them in Twitter and they said it's still just J and F. I didn't respond as I don't want to poke the bear but then this is a miscommunication in the PR team or a fault in the WiFi system.

I logged in just fine on EK143, 777 with new ICE the other day in J as a blue member (though it was the flight that got me to silver).
It didn't prompt anything other than my skyward login info and that was that.
Speeds were fine. I'm flying in economy in a week so we'll see what happens there. I suspect if you can get a signal from the J cabin you can get on just fine.

Not sure how it will work on A380's since the OnAir IT platform was different on Airbus even if the look & feel was/is similar for EK PAX..
New OnAir WiFi here:

The Unlimited free WiFi for J/F PAX happens vs authenticating with a valid Skywards Acc used for that flight booking - verification via Skywards Acc vs Booking J/F @EKXXX flight number at least this was what happen on my last trip using wifi on a B777 where i was 'allowed' multi sessions only using own account with valid booking - not sure if this was due to new implemented IT offer or the multi-session was allowed since was first day of implementation of the new quotas.

Flying in F but on a QF ticket in November (I have a Skywards gold card but will be crediting this trip to my BA account to get gold status there). Will I still be able to access free wi-fi via my Skywards account or will the fact that I'm on a QF ticket and using my BA FF number make this impossible?

I'm back on Emirates soon, anybody want to comment about wifi speed these days on the 380, has it improved ?
I remember doing a FaceTime call on it at the start, last time it was struggling with emails. It teases you with the header and then you wait and wait and finally the one sentence appears.
