On board wifi
 

I know that you get a complimentary 10Mb of wifi - would that be enough to send a couple or three emails and maybe make a posting on facebook?

If you want to get the extra 500Mb i believe that is available for $1 - does that have to be pre booked, if not how do you pay for it ?

1. Yes, just

2. No, credit card in flight on the WiFi login page.

Thanks

I may just be wildly impetuous and invest $2

or use 2 different emailaccounts so you get 20mb free wifi

that use to work, but now it recognizes the device which you already used.

More then likely its based on Mac Address, use a Google Android and if you are rooted, you can simply choose to change mac address, iPhones are a little tricky.

I thought wifi was free in J?

why not just pay a $1

i think if your flying Emirates you can afford a dollar. :rolleyes:

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).

$1 is minimal, and 500MB pretty good considering the speed offered - you certainly couldn't download a tv show, but for general social media and their respective Apps, it's fine.

Email works well too, but it can be a bit slow.

Also bear in mind that WiFi will not be available on the entire route - as certain countries are black out zones (Iran, Iraq, India etc).

You can bypass the free wifi offer by deleting cookies, it does not use MAC address. However on Windows you can isntall TMAC Mac address changer which is great for airport wifi (when not in lounge) and such time restricted places.

for the sake of saving $1 I am not sure that I am worried about changing Mac addresses etc

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.

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.

China....(a big one that!)

Yeahh!! I won't have to spend $1 :D
