FAQ : Status of on-board WiFi rollout on BA aircraft
 

On the BA67 and thought I would see if the WiFi had been switched yet - and lo and behold £4.99 later I have an hour of pretty speedy internet 2 hours out of PHL. Very impressed :)

Hi,

Very interesting,

I think you are the first FT to post live from a wifi equipped BA jet ( apart from the LCY jets)

Flightradar24 is showing the flight to be a B744 ( G-CIVS)

I've seen similar on G-CIVR - it's there - but I didn't fancy paying for it.

WiFi was also available on the BA173 (G-CIVX LHR-JFK) today.

Do we have more info on the pricing?

From the payment screen looks like there might be ‘promo codes’ for free access, then I had £4.99 for an hour up to £14.99 for the full flight. Don’t think that’s bad value. May not be so keen when a full flight is connected tho 😳

I got screenshots. Can't upload right now - but there are two tiers:

£4.99 for 1 hour (basic), £10.99 for 4 hours (basic), £14.99 for the flight (basic)

£7.99 for 1 hour (fast), £17.99 for 4 hours (fast), £23.99 for the flight (fast).

Basic is for non-streaming, fast is for streaming.

They might still be working on the tiers because on the basic level YouTube and Netflix is working just fine :)

This is great news. Thanks for sharing,

I've taken the liberty of amending the thread title, to attract more eyes

Screen caps of the options attached.

If it is Gogo provided, I'm hoping there is a high chance for iPass 'free' access, just like AA ^

Excellent. Will be in a 747 to Denver in Nov so will hopefully get one that have it... Maybe worth starting a Wiki as more planes get enabled and people can report their experiences ?

This thread last week suggested it’s a year at least off..
