Free inflight Wi-Fi

Our super-modern Airbus 320neo jets are flying to Australia, the Pacific Islands and sometimes domestically in New Zealand. That means you can sit back and enjoy free Inflight Wi-Fi when you fly with us internationally or within New Zealand. 

Plane by plane, we're extending the Wi-Fi technology to more of our fleet. Most of our 777s and Neos are now fully Wi-Fi enabled, as well as the majority of the 787s. Although Wi-Fi may not be available on certain flights, more aircraft will continue to be fitted out with Wi-Fi making it easier than ever to stay connected.

Does your flight have Inflight Wi-Fi?

To see if Wi-Fi is available on your flight, download the Air NZ app and check for the Wi-Fi icon next to your flight in your app. The Wi-Fi icon next to your flight will only show if Inflight Wi-Fi is available. Please check again on the day of your flight as we may have had to make a late aircraft change.

How to connect in the sky

1. Switch your device to Flight Mode
2. Wait for a few minutes after takeoff

4. Join the AirNZ_InflightWiFi network

All of these instructions are available on board. Our crew can help you get online too.

What you can do on our free Inflight Wi-Fi

You can do lots of everyday online activities on our Inflight Wi-Fi:

• Browse the web
• Send and receive emails and messages
• Check and post to social media

You'll find that uploading is slower than downloading.

Giving everyone a fair share of our inflight bandwidth

To make the most of our bandwidth we block or limit some high data use services. That way everyone on board can enjoy a good online experience.

Current aviation regulations prohibit all voice calls, even those that use apps.

We also block content that might be objectionable.

Here's what you can't do online when you fly:

• Make voice calls, even using an app
• Make video calls
• Download or update apps
• Stream high resolution or full-screen video
• Access cloud storage services
• Play real-time multi-player games
• View potentially offensive content, such as violent or pornographic video
