JetBlue says Fly-Fi lets you stream video and use several devices at once. It doesn’t publish speed figures. It says Amazon Leo will bring faster speeds and lower latency.
VPNs
JetBlue doesn’t publish a VPN rule.
Which planes have it
Fly-Fi is on all JetBlue-operated flights, but JetBlue says coverage varies by aircraft. Service reaches over the Atlantic, Central America and the Caribbean as well as the US. The present Fly-Fi service uses geostationary satellite capacity. The ITU estimates about 500 ms of round-trip propagation delay for a geostationary satellite, before other network delays. Amazon Leo is due to start in 2027, in phases.
How to connect
In your device’s Wi-Fi settings, join JetBlue’s free Fly-Fi network.
Sign in to Fly-Fi when its page opens, then browse, message or stream.
JetBlue’s pages describe signing in to “our free Fly-Fi network” but don’t give the exact network name or the sign-in steps.
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? reads the service’s status page.
