Delta Air Lines
Delta has consistently been ranked among the top three airlines for Delta in-flight Wi-Fi by our readers over the years, thanks to its free high-speed service on most flights within the U.S., Canada, and Mexico as well as its low cost of $9 per hour (or $59 per month) for unlimited access to Delta's "FlyNet" network beyond those borders. In addition, FlyNet allows passengers to stream content from Netflix and Amazon Prime Video in addition to checking their email, surfing the web, and more. Delta also offers international customers free access through its partnership with Gogo. JetBlue: JetBlue has been a top Wi-Fi provider for years, offering complimentary services on all of its domestic flights as well as low-cost ($9 per hour) access on international routes via Gogo's ATG network.
Alaska Airlines
Alaska Airlines has great service and friendly staff members. It also offers free entertainment options like movies and TV shows through its streaming app Fly-Fi®. This app is available on Android devices, iOS devices (iPhone, iPad), Chromecast, and Roku devices. You can also use your laptop or mobile device as a hotspot to connect other devices such as laptops or tablets to the internet while flying with Alaska Airlines. The company offers unlimited data plans for $20 per flight leg (booked in advance).
American Airlines
American offers free Wi-Fi on most domestic flights, with unlimited data available at no extra cost on all aircraft equipped with Gogo technology. However, there are some restrictions — you must be an AAdvantage member and have a smartphone or tablet device that supports T-Mobile LTE connectivity while onboard to access this service.
