A forum thread on the subject, along with our editorial director Tom Otley’s thoughts on the service when he travelled on a connected flight in late October, can be seen here.
Passengers are informed when boarding if their aircraft is fitted with wifi, with the service available “approximately ten minutes after take-off when the aircraft has passed 10,000 feet”.
Carolina Martinoli, British Airways’ director of brand and customer experience, said “Staying connected is important to our customers who want to be able to work, browse and stream in the air. They can now look forward to enjoying the latest generation Wi-Fi across our long haul fleet over the next two years.”
