Emirates has upgraded its in-flight wifi so that every passenger can potentially enjoy free wifi even if they are flying on a cheap economy ticket.
Only one issue: you have to sign up the Emirates Skywards scheme to be eligible, Travel Mole reports.
The upgrade means an additional 30,000 economy class passengers will get access to complimentary wifi every week.
The airline says it has invested more than US$300 million in onboard connectivity.
All Emirates Skywards members in every class can now enjoy some form of free connectivity.
Skywards members enjoy free app messaging and first class passengers will now have unlimited free internet if they are Skywards members.
Silver, Gold and Platinum Skywards members get free wifi in business class.
Platinum Skywards members have complimentary internet access in all classes.
Emirates sees an average of 450,000 inflight wifi users per month.
Patrick Brannelly, SVP Retail, IFE said: ” In March we delivered about 55% more data per customer session."
Emirates will also offer new high-speed broadband by Inmarsat’s GX Aviation, on new Airbus A350 aircraft from 2024.
