77Ws with WiFi
Seeing that the Chauffeur Thread was a huge success thank to everyone who contributed, I had another list which I forgot about, it was last updated in January 2015 and I'm sure there have been plenty of new 77Ws that joined the fleet since then.
Here's a copy of it:

It obviously needs to be updated, so if you've found something wrong in the list, or you've come across a 77W that has WiFi and isn't in this list, drop me a PM or post here about which ones have it or don't have it.
All replies will be appreciated.
Cheers,

Perhaps you could use your list to confirm and update on the fleet guide

There is already a comprehensive fleet guide on here which also lists which aircraft have WiFi, I've found it to be accurate (more accurate than the gate agent yesterday, too).
The Emirates Fleet Guide

Just flew EPA and no WiFi, as per list, despite the gate agent telling me there would be. Now I know who to trust. Latest ICE, though, which was nice. I use that fleet guide all the time to look up frames and WiFi availability.

Question : what good is such a list ?
You cannot choose a flight depending on the frame, because you don't know which ship you'll get.
Just got off a A380. OnAir was a disaster, 6 minutes to update my mails on my phones, just to tell me that there is no new message ...

Yeah you're right, but it's sort of helpful to know before you board whether or not it'll have WiFi or not. And if you fly from anywhere that isn't DXB, you can always check the inbound flight in advance to know what the registration will be.

The last 77Ws I flew on were A6-EBX and ENM, the former had WiFi, and the latter didn't, although the thread mentions that ENM does have it, so I'm assuming they disable it for some flights.

Because I don't take the day off when I travel because I'm self employed and work anywhere I've got internet. I generally plan to work on flights but use these lists to see if I'll be able to, and where not then can quickly inform my employees before disappearing into a black hole for 7 hours like happened on Thursday.
