Does anyone know if the 777s that were retrofitted with Premium Economy support FlyNet?

The last press releases I could find online are from January 2017 and mention Airbus planes only, I wonder whether that has changed.

How does Austrian's pricing look like, specifically for VIE-LAX/NRT/BKK/PVG? Are there any ways to prepay/buy access before? Anyone aware which roaming partners OS supports (same as LH?)?

Here you can find the pricing

Thanks, that pricing is for short/medium-haul though. I doubt they would sell FlyNet STREAM at €12 for VIE-LAX/BKK/NRT/PVG (as they probably cannot, since coverage would be worse and possibly many more people using it).

For example, LH also has different pricing for short/medium-haul and long-haul:

- https://www.lufthansa.com/online/myportal/lh/us/infoservice?nodeid=740177746&l=en&cid=1000390

One core question here is whether Austrian offers Internet on long-haul flights in general, or whether it is still short/medium-haul only. The entertainment on board page still says short/medium-haul and Airbus, but it also says "Starting from the 2017 summer schedule", so I am hoping that it is outdated and that they introduced it on long-haul with the introduction of Premium Economy the past two months (long-hauls are Boeing 763/777):

Edit: Ha! Looks like you edited your post in between me replying and the notification I got :-)

The question remains though: Is it still only short/medium-haul, or is it also offered on long-haul (possibly in a testing phase)? Does anyone have some more recent information?

The longhaul fleet does not have Flynet.

Thanks, that's unfortunate. I figured as much, but hope is the last to die
