Frequently asked questions
Which airlines have free Wi-Fi in economy?
12 of the 69 airlines we track offer free Wi-Fi in economy on at least some flights — check the table above for specifics, since it's often fleet- or route-dependent even on "free" carriers.
Why does my flight not have the Wi-Fi my airline promises?
In-flight Wi-Fi is usually tied to specific aircraft or satellite coverage, not guaranteed fleet-wide. An airline can offer free Wi-Fi on newer jets while older aircraft on the same route have none.
Can I book a flight that's guaranteed to have Wi-Fi?
Call CheapoTrav before booking — our agents can check which specific aircraft is scheduled on your flight and confirm Wi-Fi availability before you pay.
