Slightly OT.
But does anyone have a troubleshooting guide for connecting to the on-board wifi. I've never actually been able to connect (iPhone 6 with whatever the latest OS at the time has been). Specifically, I never reach the "challenge" login page that would let me activate my 10mb free or pay the $1 fee for 500Mb. R |

I've tried a couple of times with the same so I am going to ask a stupid question that I should really know the answer to. Does the entire fleet of 77W's and A380's have wifi? And I ask because on some bookings in MMB the flight specifically shows as having wifi on others it doesn't.

for the sake of saving $1 I am not sure that I am worried about changing Mac addresses etc
I usually pay 1$ on my phone + 1$ on my laptop and it gets me through most of the flight. |

Navigate manually to portal.inflight.onair.aero and it should take you to the landing page.

The EK wifi offer is probably the most generous of any airline that charges (wifi is free in F on the A380 for QR passengers)
M As an aside, I have never managed to burn through the 500MB. Are you able to pay for a second round of 500MB for another $1 if you run out (while not taking advantage of the system by deleting cookies, etc.)? |

Just onair.aero also works, or more generally (but not as reliably) any non-HTTPS website. HTTPS websites like Google won't work because the SSL protocol won't allow redirection for safety reasons. I have a news site I always use on hotspots and generally works.

Why can't EK follow suit and give their F passengers free Wifi also? I have always been amazed that we are asked to pay $1.00 when sitting in the suites. It is more of a pain than anything and it seems a little ridiculous to be drinking Dom and eating caviar then having to get out a credit card for the silly one dollar charge. I understand upcharging and I completely understand bandwidth being limited by forcing a charge after 10MB, however can't the few people in F just be able to log in for free?

Wahaha

Thanks skywardhunter. I guess I will be swapping devices if I need a workaround.

If it doesn't work and you havent paid then they can say that its a free service not available on all flights. If you have paid $1 and it doesn't work then the maximum they have to do is to refund you $1 . They will probably blame the 3rd party provider and also know that most people won't bother about it. |
I can't believe you are concerned to pay $2 for 1GB of data. I usually Pay $15 to $20 in Etihad and BA flights.
