Update sheet for Wi-Fi?
I'm seeing a lot of posts with people getting Wifi-enabled 777s. I think it's good we add this to the sheet - I'll make an attempt now.

As an update to my post above. I have added a "Wi-Fi" section to each plane type. I have also made the "*" (little star) symbol mean Wi-Fi enabled on that plane. For B-KPB, B-KQX and B-HNK, which used to have "*" to denote special liveries, I just removed the little star but kept the notes below.
Right now, according to the other thread a poster reported B-KQZ had working Wi-Fi. Another poster above say the Wi-Fi antenna on a few other birds but no reports yet of it working. I think we should probably wait until we know Wi-Fi is enabled on those planes before saying so? I recall antennas being on a number of birds but not yet enabled?
Thx for help and updates.

I flew KQZ on 04 SEP and KQC on 09 SEP both equipped with wifi (probably before they 'should be' - since HAECO told ISM and crew there were no wifi in both instances!)
Blazing speed, very stable connection, no geoblock (probably helps that most pax weren't aware?). Actually made me feel (much) less bad having chosen to fly on a 77K over 77H both of these times.

KPJ is a leased plane. It may not be converted to 77A.

updated. do you mind sharing how you know, roughly? Doesn't have to be precise, we've just had a few erroneous updates before and I want to make sure things are accurate. Most of the inaccuracies are due to folks observing planes in person or on flight tracking websites going to/from XMN and speculating, without knowing precisely what happened.

LAF (33K), went Xiamen as CX3386. New livery will be applied, I assume.
