In addition, Economy class customers and non-Skywards members can now enjoy 20MB of free data usage within the first 2 hours of log in, double the current 10MB free being offered.
Additional data of Emirates WiFi can be purchased in 150MB or 500MB blocks at attractive rates, with tiered discounts for Skywards Silver and Blue members.
“Emirates has made significant investments in our inflight connectivity. Today, WiFi services are available on over 200 of our aircraft, and it is a service that Emirates continues to subsidise heavily. Inflight WiFi usage, already popular from the start, has grown tremendously. Our new inflight WiFi plans reflect Emirates’ commitment to continue providing this as a free service for as many customers as possible, especially to our most frequent flyers,” said Adel Al Redha, Emirates Vice President and Chief Operations Officer.
The doubling to 20MB of free data will suit customers who are light WiFi users looking to send short messages to their families and friends, or check their social media accounts while flying. Business travellers or more heavy users of inflight WiFi will have the flexibility to purchase additional data packages as needed.
