Delta is adding capacity from the ViaSat-3 F2 (Americas, parts of the Atlantic) and F3 (Pacific) satellites. - **Hughes** Hughes Fusion, which uses geostationary and low-orbit networks at once, is going onto the 717 fleet and new aircraft deliveries. - **[Wi-Fi Onboard (formerly Gogo)](https://kilobat.app/in-flight-wifi/intelsat)** Still on certain regional and wide-body planes until they get Delta Sync Wi-Fi. Delta links Intelsat’s privacy policy for it. - **Amazon Leo** Planned from 2028, starting with an initial 500 aircraft. ## What’s free - **SkyMiles members** get free Wi-Fi on nearly all domestic and international flights. SkyMiles is free to join, and you can enrol on board. - You can connect any number of devices to the free Wi-Fi. Sign in to your SkyMiles account on each one at `deltawifi.com`. - Messaging is free on all flights with Wi-Fi Onboard and is included in Delta Sync Wi-Fi. Delta says SMS requires Wi-Fi calling enabled and can take up to 15 minutes after connecting. MMS is not supported. - Members also get trial offers from partners such as Paramount+ and YouTube Premium. iCloud Private Relay can block these offers, so turn it off to see them. As of November 2026. ## Prices Delta doesn’t publish Wi-Fi Flight Pass prices. A paid Flight Pass is available on select international flights and some Wi-Fi Onboard aircraft. Check the onboard portal. Delta says a Flight Pass can’t move between devices, and Wi-Fi Onboard All-Day and Delta Global passes are no longer accepted. Paying customers who aren’t happy can ask for a refund. As of November 2026. ## Streaming and calls Delta says streaming works on Delta Sync Wi-Fi and with Flight Passes. It calls the service “streaming-quality” on most Wi-Fi flights, with speed varying by aircraft, route and demand. Video and voice calls are not allowed, including Wi-Fi calling and VoIP. ## VPNs Delta says its Wi-Fi supports all major VPN apps. Connect and sign in at `DeltaWiFi.com` first, then turn the VPN on, because a VPN can prevent the login page from opening. Check how your VPN handles two-factor codes without mobile signal. ## Which planes have it Delta says nearly 1,300 aircraft, more than 95% of its fleet, have Wi-Fi. Delta Connection regional jets and the 717 are still moving to Delta Sync, due by early 2027, and may vary meanwhile. There is no Wi-Fi over China and Morocco. Some countries, including Argentina and South Korea, block it below 10,000 feet. Flights over Alaska can have a short gap. ## How to connect 1. Turn on airplane mode, then turn Wi-Fi on. 2. Choose the `DeltaWiFi.com` network. 3. Follow the portal’s prompts. If the page doesn’t open, type `DeltaWiFi.com` into your browser. 4. Log in with your SkyMiles account for free access, or join SkyMiles there. If it won’t connect, use **Forget This Network** in your device’s Wi-Fi settings and join again. Delta’s Wi-Fi help is at `wifi.delta.com`. ## On board with Kilobat Kilobat is a Mac menu-bar app that shows what each app sends and holds back what can wait. On a plane: - **The sign-in page.** When it doesn’t open by itself, the menu bar says **This Wi-Fi wants you to sign in**, with **Open sign-in page**. Turn your VPN on after you’ve signed in. - **Mark it metered.** macOS treats plane Wi-Fi as unlimited. Mark it **Metered** in Kilobat’s Wi-Fi menu or with `kilobat networks cost metered`, and Kilobat skips its own speed tests. If automatic switching is enabled, it switches to Travel. - **Updates wait.** With Pro, paused updaters enabled and the network filter on, macOS Software Update, App Store downloads, Google Updater and Microsoft AutoUpdate wait for an unmetered network. The apps keep working. - **See what’s using it.** Every app’s upload and download, live in the menu bar, so a messaging-only plan isn’t spent on a sync you forgot. - **Send later.** A big upload, such as Dropbox syncing a folder, shows as a row with its speed. With Pro, **Send later** can hold it until you’re on unmetered Wi-Fi again, for up to eight hours while Kilobat is open. - **Know what’s slow.** Health shows latency and loss, and with Pro their history through the flight. Those measurements can help you investigate a slow connection. When Slack or Zoom won’t load, [Is it them or me?](https://kilobat.app/is-it-down) reads the service’s status page.
