JetBlue Introduces Free Wi-Fi

JetBlue, an airliner based in New York City, just announced its new Fly-Fi program. In a day and age where not many things work without Wi-Fi, the airline says it will now offer free Wi-Fi to its passengers from the moment they depart to the moment they arrive.

Vice President of JetBlue, Jamie Perry, announced that all 227 of the airliners fleet now contain what the company calls “broadband speeds” for each of its passengers. Perry also stated that, “It’s 2017 and our customers expect to be connected everywhere, whether that be from the comfort of their sofa or 35,000 feet above it.”

JetBlue is currently the only airliner that provides its passengers with not just free Wi-Fi but live TV as well. This new technology keeps the passengers plugged in just as if they were at home. Each passenger also can stream videos. With The Hub, passengers get Sirius XM Radio whether they use Fly-Fi or not. Direct TV is also available with more than 100 channels.

Other airlines such as Delta, Gogo, American, and even Southwest charge their passengers at least $19 if bought in advance.  If bought after take-off, each passenger pays as much as $30. JetBlue, on the other hand, stresses the fact that their Fly-Fi service is entirely free.

Fly-Fi was first developed back in 2013. Back then it was only available on one plane. Now, however, the company extended the service to its entire fleet. All of its Airbus A320s, A321s, and Embraer 190s have the free Wi-Fi service. JetBlue also says that its Fly-Fi is only obtainable in the continental U.S.
