British Airways has confirmed that it plans to offer both short-haul and long-haul connectivity across its fleet.

IAG, the carrier's owner, said at an investor day this week that it is "evaluating wifi retrofit for over 100 existing [long-haul] aircraft" while short-haul will look at "extending Inmarsat's Air-to-Ground (AtG) offer to over 300 aircraft".

Positivt, selv om det ikke vil skje over natta

Re: BA installerer Wifi

Hoppas SAS snart tar tag i detta på "short-haul" igen!

British Airways, at long last, has announced plans to bring in-flight Wi-Fi Internet access to 118 long-haul aircraft—most of its long-haul fleet. Each aircraft will theoretically have a combined upload and download bandwidth of 70Mbps, though that will be shared between everyone onboard.

Rapporteres om at de nå ha startet så smått på de flyene som har det installert. Virker som en softlaunch uten for mye oppmerksomhet.

Priser sakset fra Flyertalk:

£4.99 for 1 hour (basic), £10.99 for 4 hours (basic), £14.99 for the flight (basic)
£7.99 for 1 hour (fast), £17.99 for 4 hours (fast), £23.99 for the flight (fast).
Basic is for non-streaming, fast is for streaming.

Synes ikke dette var veldig billig...

Nei

Ligger ca. på nivå med AA iallfall. 19 dollar for flighten, 17 dollar for 4 timer. Samme pris uavhengig av hvor du sitter i kabinen.

Dette er nå testet - det funket overraskende bra. Testet bare "browser-pakke", men den taklet stabil VPN-forbindelse og helt grei surfing.
