Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q1: What can I do to get the best Wi-Fi experience onboard?

Ans: Choose a Wi-Fi pass that matches what you want to do (for example, the Message Pass is only for text). Close any apps you aren't using in the background, and turn off automatic updates for your apps and software.

Q2. Can I stream movies or videos using the Wi-Fi?

Ans: You can use your paid Wi-Fi pass to stream videos, but the quality isn't guaranteed. The speed can vary depending on where the plane is and how many people are online at the same time. The Message Pass does not allow for any video or audio streaming.

Q3: Why can't I access Wi-Fi on the ground or during takeoff and landing?

Ans: The Wi-Fi service is only available once the aircraft reaches a cruising altitude of 10,000 feet. This is due to local government regulations. Don't worry, a notification will appear on the inflight entertainment monitor when it's ready!

Q4: Is the inflight Wi-Fi secure?

Ans: Onboard Wi-Fi connection is as secure as any other public hotspot. They recommend using your own firewalls and anti-virus software for the best protection, just as you would on the ground.
