Does the Delta ATL-JNB flight have wifi yet?

[vette447]

Just curious if Delta has gotten their long haul 777s outfitted with inflight wifi yet? Getting ready to head back to Africa on flight 200 on Wednesday this week.

Nope....

Didn't see anyone using it if it was hooked up!

If I remember correctly, they did not... however, I did enjoy most of the flight in a gin-enduced slumber, so my memory of the flight is less than reliable!

If I recall correctly it reads "wifi available over the continental US"

 

[vette447]

Thanks. That's what I figured but I was just hoping that they may have updated those 777s by now. Don't really need the Internet for that time anyway.

I guess I will stick with my normal plan of a drink, movie, dinner, movie, sleeping pill, sleep. Breakfast, movie, lunch, movie, land.... Woo, that's a long flight.

Yea and they encourage you to buy it ahead of time when you buy your tickets. Luckily I didn't. I think it is just a matter of time until they actually have it working over seas. In the mean time try the gin!

So, at least some of the planes have it now. I am in flight now just now getting out over the Atlantic and have wifi access. Pretty cool

Any updates on Delta WiFi?

It was available on my flight in April of this year.

I was available on my June flight. But most of the time it didnt work.

I have flown a fair amount for work lately. What I have found is the airlines want to now charge and heavily for it. One of the gents I was traveling with on one trip decided to buy it to get some work done on his laptop. It was so slow that it made getting anything done in a reasonable amount of time not possible.

So even if available on the plane it may not actually be available at the time, if it is it's expensive and slow.

Want WiFi fly Emirates.

My planes had Wi-Fi (going and coming home) two years ago. It was pretty decent coverage of I remember. It costs money of course ($20 or so I think). May be better coverage/speed now

What was the cost?

What was the cost?

If I remember when I went to connect it was a $20 fee. I wanted to use it on way over and it was slow and sometimes not at all. Didnt bother on way back to try.
