Airlines that offer the best wifi service

11 May 2016 by Clement Huang
FINNAIR AVAILABILITY A350s COST €5 (US$5.70) for one hour; €15 (US$17) for full flight INFO The introduction of the A350 to its fleet last year enabled Finnair to offer wifi to its customers. The Oneworld member has taken the service to the next level by providing free connectivity to business class passengers and elite members of its frequent flyer programme. finnair.com   EMIRATES AVAILABILITY A380s and select B777s COST First 10MB is free; additional 600MB for US$1 INFO The Gulf carrier regularly draws attention and its wifi service is no different. Every passenger travelling on a wifi-enabled aircraft receives 10MB of data completely free, while an addition 600MB will cost you only US$1. As an added bonus, Emirates donates that money to charity. emirates.com   SCOOT AVAILABILITY Entire fleet COST 20MB for US$5; US$11.95 for one hour; US$16.95 for three hours; US$21.95 for 24 hours INFO As a low-cost carrier, one might mistake Scoot’s no-frills model for a lack of quality. As previously reported (see here), that would be a misconception. The LCC operates a modern all-B787 fleet, which makes it the only carrier in the world to offer wifi on all of its aircraft. Speeds aren’t too shabby either, as we were able to stream last year’s Superbowl using the service. flyscoot.com   GARUDA INDONESIA AVAILABILITY B777-300ERs COST US$11.95 for one hour; US$16.95 for three hours; US$21.95 for 24 hours; free for first class passengers INFO Garuda Indonesia has made many recent improvements and its progress is apparent on its new B777-300ER aircraft. Excellent cabin products are complemented by a top-of-the-line wifi service – available free to all first class customers. garuda-indonesia.com   NOK AIR AVAILABILITY Select B737s COST Free when available INFO Last year Nok Air became the first Asian carrier to offer free onboard wifi to all passengers. The new service debuted on two aircraft in May 2015, but has since been extended to other planes as well. With a download bandwidth of up to 8Mbps, that’s plenty for someone looking to use social media apps or stream a couple of short videos. nokair.com  Clement Huang
