American Airlines Wi-Fi
Typical Wi-Fi probability
87%
Free Wi-Fi for AAdvantage members across the entire narrowbody and dual-class regional fleet since January 2026, sponsored by AT&T — a free AAdvantage signup is all that is required, not an AT&T plan. Runs on Viasat and Intelsat hardware. American signed Starlink for 500+ Airbus narrowbodies in May 2026, but those installs do not start until Q1 2027.
