Which Emirates flights have WiFi? Emirates' whole fleet is outfitted with inflight internet.

Yes, as of early 2026, Emirates has completed a massive rollout of Starlink Wi-Fi across its entire fleet of over 230 aircraft, including all Boeing 777s and Airbus A380s. This service provides ultra-fast, "home-like" speeds suitable for streaming, gaming, and video calls. Best of all, the service is completely free for all passengers, regardless of their cabin class or whether they are members of the Skywards loyalty program. Passengers can connect with a single click on their personal devices or via the seatback "ice" entertainment system. This marks a significant upgrade from previous years when free Wi-Fi was often restricted to certain membership tiers or premium cabins. Whether you are flying in Economy or First Class, you can now enjoy uninterrupted high-speed internet throughout your 2026 journey, elevating the airline's reputation for providing a premium digital experience at 35,000 feet.
