WiFi on plane

[sharon0502]

Just wondering if anyone could help and tell me which is the best WiFi to buy on virgin flight for daughters, they want to use Instagram, Snapchat and WhatsApp, any advice would be great, TIA

I only used it when it was free for a Month or so when it was first launched.

I have glanced at the info in the book and I think there are 2 packages you can buy. One is for an hour and one is for the whole flight. Not sure on prices sorry. I think they both are the same regarding what you get just different durations.

When we where on the flight to Vegas it was 2.99 for very basic package And max was 20.00 or there abouts there where a couple of other packages but I think for a full flight it be around 20.00 each child

Is the wifi good enough that you can buy it for one phone and then tether the other phone too it?

Thank you

it's something like the below... so for the messaging use you MAY get away with the messaging pass.

I usually get wifi MAX and it generally works pretty well! there will be patches of time when it just goes off but it usually comes back a few minutes later.


Charges for WiFi on our A330, A340 and 747 aircraft
WiFi Light £4.99 for an hour's browsing
WiFi Max £14.99 for unlimited use for the entire flight, there's no data cap
Messaging pass £2.99 for messaging only throughout the entire flight, no videos or photos

Charges for WiFi on our 787 aircraft
WiFi Light £4.99 for 40Mb of data, perfect if you just want to do a little bit of browsing
WiFi Max £14.99 for 150Mb of data, plenty for heavier users

OP I totally understand why your daughters want wifi and I know it's not what you are asking but for me I just love not having wifi, not being contactable and getting into my own space for a few hours.

Please could I ask them politely to switch of any audible alerts as it's really annoying sitting next to someone who phone beeps continuously.

Hope you have a good flight.

Wi-fi doesn’t work like that. You can only tether your a mobile signal.
