Singapore Airlines, following on from a trial last year, is offering free WiFi broadband connectivity to most of its passengers.

First and Business class passengers can access unlimited free WiFi.

Premium Economy can also get free access for 3-hours if they are members of the airline’s KrisFlyer club, while club members in Economy can get free access for 2 hours. Non-KrisFlyer members can access the service. Package options include US$3.99 (£3.25) for one hour, US$8.99 (£7.30) for three hours, or US$15.99 (£13) for the entire flight.

Singapore Airlines says it is one of the first in the industry to offer complementary WiFi.

The new WiFi service will be implemented across Singapore Airlines fleet of A380s, A350s, B777-300ERs, B787-10s and B737-8s.

Mr Yeoh Phee Teik, SVP/customer experience, Singapore Airlines, said: “Staying connected, even at 35,000 feet in the air, has become an essential aspect of the travel experience. With our enhanced WiFi offerings, SIA’s customers can stay in touch with their loved ones, post photos and videos on their social media channels, or keep updated on the latest news.
