It is getting closer to reality that Delta will offer free wi-fi on all flights.
SkyMiles members can now get free internet access on certain aircraft. You can get complimentary internet access by entering your SkyMiles number and password on the landing page at Delta wifi.com.
Signing in will allow you to connect to the internet without having to pay a monthly pass. All of your favorite content can be enjoyed on the free wi-fi package.
This is part of the testing of Delta's new system. We are testing wi-fi infrastructure with different offerings to select customers on certain routes. Delta will notify customers if they have this option on their flight.
The trial is limited to a few aircraft that are equipped with Viasat, which is expected to be installed on a majority of Delta's mainline fleet by the end of the year.
Viasat is installed on a lot of new and retrofitted planes.
Even if you're not a SkyMiles member, you can still get free internet access. Just sign up from the landing page and you will be connected to the internet in minutes. If you don't want to join Delta's loyalty program, you can connect to the system for a flat fee.
Just weeks after Delta began giving free internet to its elite members on Viasat-equipped planes, SkyMiles members will be able to take advantage of the free wi-fi trial.
The trial was a success, and now Delta is going to give more flyers free internet access.

We want it to be the same for you at 35,000 feet as it is for us on the ground. Allison Ausband, Delta's chief customer experience officer, said at the Skift Aviation Forum in Dallas that they are testing it right now.
Ed Bastian, Delta's CEO, shared a goal to make the internet free. The airline is getting ready to fulfill its promise.
According to an internal Delta memo that was leaked this summer, Delta will switch to free wi-fi for domestic flights soon, with an international expansion slated for the end of 2024.
Delta is close to free fleet-wide wi-fi, but its competitors are still investing in better internet solutions.
Alaska Airlines and United Airlines both offer flat-fee pricing for wi-fi, and the latter will install Viasat on all new and retrofitted domestic jets.
Southwest Airlines recently announced that it's adding a new internet provider (Viasat) and upgrading its existing one (Anuvu) across its fleet of Boeing737s, while ultra-low-cost carrier Spirit Airlines recently shared that it's officially complete with its wi-fi
As Delta gets closer to its big goal, it's worth mentioning that it's still the leader in onboard connections. The carrier in New York still offers free gate-to-gate wi-fi with no device restrictions.
