Free Wi-Fi takes flight

September 19, 2025

🌍 Free Wi-Fi takes flight: Good news, you might not have to pay $8 just to text “landed” anymore. Free in-flight Wi-Fi is expanding, boosted by new satellite providers like Starlink. That’s right, soon you can finally stream Netflix while squished in seat 32B. I’d like to believe this to be true. I was on a 10.5-hour flight from London to Los Angeles on Monday with no Wi-Fi. Torture.
