Etihad Airways Wi-Fi
Typical Wi-Fi probability
80%
Wi-Fi across the widebody fleet, with free chat on all flights. Full free Wi-Fi is no longer First-and-Platinum only: since May 2026 it also covers Business Deluxe and Economy Deluxe fares, and it was extended again to Business Comfort in July 2026. Cheaper economy fares still pay for a full session.
