Delta just announced that it is rolling out fast, free Wi-Fi presented by T-Mobile on select long-haul international routes to its entire global fleet for free. Most transatlantic flights are expected to be in service with free Wi-Fi by the end of the summer. Starting this summer, customers can enjoy fast, free Wi-Fi presented by T-Mobile.

Timeline

Last month, fast, free Wi-Fi rolled out on most flights to/from France (CDG and NCE) out of/into all U.S. stations. Looking ahead, the airline anticipates the following timeline¹ :

Rollout Begins¹	On Viasat-Equipped Routes To/From
August 2024	United Kingdom, Germany, Netherlands, Spain and Italy
September 2024	Iceland, Ireland, Israel, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Greece, Portugal, Sweden and Switzerland
October 2024	South America (Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru) followed by Hawaii
December 2024/January 2025	Nigeria, Ghana and Senegal
Mid-Late 2025	Transpacific region (including Asia, Australia and New Zealand) and South Africa²

¹This is an expected timeline and is subject to change based on testing and satellite availability.

²Expected timeline based on aircraft installation schedule.

Knowing what Wi-Fi service to expect on your next flight

During the airline’s Wi-Fi transition period, there are unfortunately some coverage gaps where Wi-Fi is not available until additional satellites are positioned to provide full coverage. Some aircraft will have a paid Intelsat Wi-Fi experience until these additional satellites are in service and these aircraft are outfitted with upgraded satellite Wi-Fi.

Here is a map of Delta’s WiFi Availability

Wi-Fi Availability by Region

United States (contiguous 48 States): Full Wi-Fi Coverage
Hawaii & Alaska: No Wi-Fi Coverage over the Pacific Ocean
Canada & Mexico: Full Wi-Fi Coverage
Europe: Full Wi-Fi Coverage
South America: Limited Wi-Fi Coverage
Asia: No Wi-Fi Coverage
Africa: No Wi-Fi Coverage

If you are going to travel overseas, don’t forget to buy a good Sleep Mask and Noise Cancelling Headphones. These two items will make your trip so much more enjoyable.
