→British Airways: Paid Wi-Fi on most long-haul aircraft via legacy Viasat (ex-Inmarsat). BA's free-for-everyone Starlink service went live in March 2026, but only a handful of 787-8s were converted before installs were suspended for the summer peak and pushed to around October 2026 — so the odds your specific aircraft has the free Starlink product are still very low.
→Starlink is being deployed across this fleet — typically faster and free when installed.
→Early community signal: 1 rating so far — not enough to drive the score yet.

Wi-Fi changes flight to flight. Aircraft swaps, antenna failures, and provider rollouts shift outcomes — pick a specific date for a sharper per-flight estimate.
