Singapore Airlines to offer free Wi-Fi for all flights
Passengers flying with Singapore Airlines will soon be able to browse the internet at no additional cost.
Starting July 1, the carrier plans to offer complimentary inflight Wi-Fi to passengers on routes throughout its network.
Singapore's move comes as global airlines are increasingly looking to expand free Wi-Fi offerings.
Once Singapore's complimentary Wi-Fi rolls out, it will join a small number of airlines that provide free Wi-Fi for all cabin classes. In the U.S., JetBlue has long offered free Wi-Fi for all passengers. Earlier this year, Delta joined the movement and made Wi-Fi free for all passengers on domestic flights.
More may be on the way. Hawaiian Airlines announced plans for free Starlink Wi-Fi on transpacific routes in April 2022. And Delta said in March that it plans to expand free Wi-Fi to its international flights by the end of 2024.
To use Singapore's free Wi-Fi-, passengers will have to enter the details of their KrisFlyer accounts when booking their flights or at check-in to access the inflight Wi-Fi.
Travelers who don't have KrisFlyer accounts can sign up for a free membership online or through Singapore's digital content portal on board their flights to use the free Wi-Fi.
Yeoh Phee Teik, Singapore's senior vice president of customer experience, said high-speed, inflight Wi-Fi is essential to the travel experience.
"Giving [customers] access to free unlimited Wi-Fi is yet another milestone in SIA's continuous effort to offer an exceptional end-to-end travel experience," he said in a statement.
