American Airlines offering free high speed Wi-Fi from January 2026

Flight non-rawdoggers of the world rejoice! American Airlines has announced today that free high speed Wi-Fi will be coming to the majority of its planes at the start of next year.

To accomplish this, American Airlines is teaming up with AT&T who’ll be sponsoring the feature. They’ve recently been trialing the service on select flights and will be rolling it out (almost) fleet-wide in January 2026. They expect ~90% of its planes to have access to the free high speed Wi-Fi which will be powered by Intelsat and Viasat.

All passengers will need to do in order to be eligible for the free internet service will be that they’ll need to be an AAdvantage loyalty program member.

Delta and United had already announced that they’ll be rolling out free Wi-Fi on flights over the course of the next year or two, so it’s great to see American Airlines finally hop on board with this future feature.
