How to Check If Your Flight Has Wi-Fi

Nowadays many planes come with internet access for an arguably small fee. Some airlines offer Wi-Fi across their entire fleet while others only on certain types of planes and flights. If you want to find out if you can stay connected during your flight, you only need to know where to look.

You can find out if your flight has Wi-Fi a variety of ways, but we like to use flight searches to uncover the data. Certain sites provide this information. While not accurate 100% of the time, they’re as close as you’ll get without official word from the airline. Use these tools to search for your flight and they’ll tell you if you’ll have Wi-Fi:

• SeatGuru: Designed for finding the best seat on a plane, but offers information about Wi-Fi and other amenities as a natural extension of the service.
• Hipmunk: Designed for finding flights but will identify those with Wi-Fi.
• Routehappy: Designed for finding flights but will identify those with Wi-Fi.

Use any of those tools and you can figure out if your flight has Wi-Fi before you book it or depart.
