      This is the reason why I am (profanity) disappointed in Qantas' call to install wifi on its A380 and B789 fleets.

      I worked from Sky during my trip to London via San Francisco on United Air in last December (yep, almost 24 hours airtime). Loved it. It was paid internet though. It is really exciting to be able to work on the go, especially when not eligible for time off from work (IT Contract).

      And yes, I surely browsed OzBargain. I mean that is kind of unofficial part of my job now. 😀

        • CrazyBargainer on 28/06/2024 - 22:43

          We are Teams team, so didn’t have to use Zoom. Also didn’t expect the internet to be that good, so cancelled meetings that I had that day. Screenshare, messages, VPN etc. worked just great for me.

          If not blocked for security concerns, I don’t think there could be any issues with Zoom calls.

    Is consensus that it won’t be free unless KrisFlyer is on booking?

      Same boat here. Cant seem to add both, and I'd like to get the points/status credits with Velocity but 21+ hours having free wifi is a big drawcard.

        It’s pretty average , I just flew business to Europe on A350s and couldn’t do much more than send SMS. Add 200 more users and it will be even worse. I’d take the velocity points

      • sheikyerbouti on 23/07/2023 - 10:50

        The status credits are worth way more than the cost of wifi

      That's correct, didn't work for me last yr with Velocity linked when they had 200 mb free for KrisFlyers.

      I spoke to check-in staff during my last trip. They said SQ allows 2 Frequent flyer programs to be on the booking, provided one of them is Krisflyer.
      They apparently have a field for point accrual and another for privilege.

      So you can technically put VFF as the accrual and Krisflyer to the other to get free wi-fi.
      But say you're a VFF upper status member and looking to use the lounge, then you'd have to use VFF only as otherwise you can't get the lounge/priority benefits.
      This was my case. So I had to forego complimentary wi-fi.

      Added KrisFlyer to booking while checking in at Singapore this week. Got free wifi then.

            +18

            @jv: They use the NBN Sky Muster satellites, which are geostationary over Aus. As a result, when you move out of Aus, you lose the signal and can't talk to those satellites any more.

            They could use other satellites but not get the same awesome speeds they do over land, and would possibly require hardware changes.

            (source, I was on the wifi team when it launched domestically)

            They've got partnerships with Viasat and I expect will take advantage of Viasat 3 for Project Sunrise etc.

            Yes, looks like that's still the plan.

            "Joyce reiterated the airline had held back on international WiFi because current satellites didn’t offer the speed or coverage needed to meet passenger expectations, especially in comparison to its domestic offering."

      Qantas keep telling it's valued customers that's it's in the pipeline for international flights and say that's there is a chance the wireless is available for the portion of the flight over Oz but this is always BS. Earlier back in the days of AJ some cost cutting decisions has stilted the roll out of wifi on international flights for Qantas. Stuck in the air for min of 8hrs with loss of productivity is a negative for many of the valued customers. Lots of catching up to do. Still waiting.

    My KrisFlyer lapsed. They cannot reactivate accounts, and require a new email address and mobile number to create a new account. Email isn't a problem, but I'm not a drug dealer, so I don't know how they expect me to have a second mobile number.

        A KrisFlyer membership account with no recorded activity for a consecutive period of 39 months or more from the date of the last recorded activity may be closed without prior notice. A KrisFlyer membership account with no recorded activity for a consecutive period of 18 months or more from the date of commencement of membership may also be closed.

        Seems a bit rough.

        I don't mind (that much) if they expire your points but to cancel your membership and not let you re-join!?

        • Jstrrrr on 29/12/2023 - 18:43

          The act of "logging in" may well count as activity. It's likely the other guy basically did absolutely nothing with the account. Not logging in. Not accumulating/spending any points. Nothing.

    Just means it'll be slow for everyone, to the point of being unusable.

    The speeds have been unbearably slow in business class after SQ switched to unlimited wifi for premium cabins, so this will make it worse.

      Yep my thoughts too, both Suites and business class IME have been patchy as recently as March. Unless they differentiate users like they do at some hotels, this is a big negative for business/suites travellers.

    • shadowarrior on 01/07/2023 - 06:12

      Can confirm, speed was pretty good. I flew from BNE to FRA 1st week of June in Business, and flew back yesterday in first (except the SIN to BNE leg which doesn't have first class). Perfect connectivity, no slow downs for using any of my social media apps (including uploading videos/pictures on Instagram, FB). Web surfing worked perfectly. Could work on Google suites without any problem. Spotify streaming worked as well. You don't have any internet while you over Indian air space though, as their govt. body regulations/tie ups doesn't allow the service. Had perfect reception through the rest of the flight minus take off and landing windows.

        How many times have you walked on a plane looked around and thought, there's someone I want to hook up with?
        On a plane with 300 people on it, most of which are old, married, or children, your target market would be about 30 people of which at least 29 of them will be fat and/or ugly. It'd all be over in 3 seconds.

    • sol95 on 30/06/2023 - 15:40

      sign up for points earning credit cards…although if you need to fly next month, you won't be able to get your points in time.

      another option if you're a few thousand miles short is to purchase the miles from SQ

      • Hellcat on 30/06/2023 - 15:41

        I have 2 credit cards but one is only qantas the other has horrific value if transferring to Krisflyer. Any recommendations on which card is a good option?

        • Sim69 on 30/06/2023 - 15:58

          You can use Velocity points to book Singapore Airlines flights, so you may be better off with a Velocity points earnings card.

          • edman on 30/06/2023 - 16:32

            @Sim69: better value to transfer directly to Singapore than booking through Velocity. Though Krisflyer transfer rates seem to be dropping so maybe not for long.

        • Happyd on 01/07/2023 - 11:18

          I’d recommend the Bank of Melbourne Amplify Signature card or Bank of SA in your case. It’s a 2:1 transfer ratio to Krisflyer. I heard though that this ratio might change soon and may not be as worthwhile if it does.

    • mkbsd on 30/06/2023 - 15:58

      I’m flying in September and just got a HSBC star alliance credit card. Fee free for first year and you get gold status if you spend $4000 in 3 months. You can link your krisflyer to this and you’ll be promoted to KrisFlyer gold so lounge access and priority seats, check-in, boarding and stuff included. Not sure if this suits your need.

    • Miroslav on 30/06/2023 - 16:56

    I just came off a 16 hour flight from Copenhagen to Singapore using this. Our flight departed from CPH around noon the 30/6 but it seems the free access was enabled a bit early.

    It's okay (is anything free bad?) but I feel like the speed was A LOT slower today (top of 3/2 Mbps d/u) than on the way here, five weeks ago. It also dropped off alot and latency was always +900ms.

    When we left on Friday the 26th of May, even the shorter 6hr flight, CNS to SIN, had great internet. For that one my wife and I just used the complimentary 2-hour vouchers - Between 5-12 Mbps dl and stable. And upload touched 20 Mbps a few times.

    I paid to have WiFi for the 16hrs from SIN to CPH, so expected it to better than the free option, but it was about the same.

    I was in an hour-long Zoom meeting at an altitude of 12km, four hours out from Copenhagen… And it was great! No stuttering or any of the other issues which sometimes happen with satellite, or even cellular. Mind you, I had to connect via VPN for Zoom and other streaming services to work at all (even speedtest.net ), but then it was awesome.

    But now? I probably wouldn't even attempt it…

    I'll update if wifi for the next flight (in about an hour) turns out any better.
