"The new service will be sponsored by wireless provider AT&T. "Free high-speed Wi-Fi isn't just a perk-it's essential for today's travelers," said Heather Garboden, chief customer officer at American Airlines, in the release. The rollout won't kick off all at once, the announcement explained, but instead will happen in phases. This month, the service will be available only on "narrowbody and dual-class regional fleets," the announcement says. But in just a few months, it will be made available on "nearly every American Airlines flight.""
"While the service will be available on almost all flights, it's not for everyone. Eligible fliers have to be in the airline's loyalty program, AAdvantage. If you aren't a member but want to become one, you can sign up for a free account on the American Airlines website by providing a few personal details. Doing so will enable you to start earning miles, loyalty points, and free Wi-Fi on flights."
"How can AAdvantage® members access free Wi-Fi on their flights? Accessing free Wi-Fi for AAdvantage members can be accomplished through the new and improved aainflight.com portal. Customers will be asked to log in using their AAdvantage® membership number and password. Then, they can select "Free Wi-Fi" to start using the service. If you don't have access to free Wi-Fi, it's available on most American Airlines flights for $10."
Free, high-speed Wi-Fi will begin this month on American Airlines flights and is scheduled to reach around two million flights in 2026. The service is sponsored by wireless provider AT&T and will roll out in phases, starting on narrowbody and dual-class regional fleets and expanding to nearly every flight in a few months. Free access will be restricted to AAdvantage loyalty program members; nonmembers can sign up for a free account to qualify. AAdvantage members can log in at aainflight.com, select "Free Wi-Fi," and start using the service. If free access is unavailable, Wi-Fi remains available on most flights for $10.
