Japan Airlines Wi-Fi
Typical Wi-Fi probability
86%
Free Wi-Fi across domestic flights; international is tiered — free in business and first, with a limited free allowance in economy and premium economy. JAL is moving toward Starlink: its low-cost subsidiary ZIPAIR completed a Starlink fleet conversion in 2026 and JAL mainline is following, but mainline aircraft are still on the legacy system.
