In 2026, Lufthansa's inflight internet (FlyNet) is undergoing a major transition that significantly improves its reputation. Historically, FlyNet was often criticized for being "spotty" and expensive on older long-haul aircraft. However, as of early 2026, Lufthansa has begun a fleet-wide rollout of Starlink's high-speed broadband. This new system offers low-latency, "ground-like" connectivity that finally allows for seamless video streaming, cloud-based working, and gaming at 35,000 feet. Additionally, the airline now offers free messaging and basic browsing for all Miles & More members and "Travel ID" users. While older aircraft still using the legacy satellite systems may experience some lag, the Starlink-equipped planes are currently rated among the best in Europe for speed and reliability, making it a competitive tool for business travelers.
