A colleague of mine is on board LY26 and he said there is free WiFi (during the experimentation period).

As far as he could tell it only worked decently over Europe but experimental over the Atlantic.

Key word being “experimentation period”. Now they’ve officially “inaugurated” it. For realz, as the cool kids say.

My colleague flew from EWR last night.. bottom line was that wifi was unreliable above the Atlantic and decent in Europe.. but hey it was free :)

I've just received a different email from LY where the basic package is free. But all prices are valid until the end of the launch period i.e. 30 Oct 2018

Much more reasonable than LX or SQ. Though I wonder if the basic which includes WhatsApp and email is limited when it comes to attachments.

Good question.
I checked the fine print, it doesn't say.

Should ViaSat be sharing connection details?  ???
I doubt their sharing connection details. Only thing they are probably sharing is the number of people online. What they are doing is obvious by looking around.

Their email says it's only from European destinations so far.

Do other airlines also let you switch devices? It can be great if traveling with a few people together...
