On Tuesday (January 6, 2026), American Airlines announced the launch of free, high-speed Wi-Fi and on more aircraft than any other carrier in the world.   Starting this month, AAdvantage® members will enjoy free high-speed, satellite-based Wi-Fi across over 2 million American Airlines flights annually, sponsored by AT&T.  The free high-speed Wi-Fi will begin rolling out across 100 of American’s single-aisle and dual-class regional fleets this month, and by early spring, it will be available on nearly every American Airlines flight.


In Tuesday’s announcement, American Airlines’ Chief Customer Officer, Heather Garboden, said,


“As American celebrates 100 years of delivering industry firsts, including the first loyalty program and first airport lounge, we’re setting the standard for connectivity in the skies.  Free high-speed Wi-Fi isn’t just a perk — it’s essential for today’s travelers.  That’s why we’re proud to begin rolling out this new offering, sponsored by AT&T, across the majority of our fleet. Once roll out is completed, every AAdvantage® member can stay connected, stream and share almost anywhere their journey takes them for free.”

 

Also commenting on the free Wi-Fi rollout, AT&T’s EVP and General Manager – Mass Markets, Jenifer Robertson, added,

 

“At AT&T, connecting changes everything.  By sponsoring free inflight Wi-Fi for American Airlines AAdvantage® members, we’re making it easier for people to stay productive, entertained and in touch from takeoff to landing.  We’re proud to support this experience for AAdvantage® members, helping redefine what it means to travel connected, all courtesy of America’s best, fastest and most reliable network.”


Customers can easily access the free Wi-Fi via American’s upgraded ‘aainflight.com’ portal by simply logging in using their AAdvantage® number and password, then selecting ‘Free Wi-Fi’ to start browsing.  The new portal has been designed for speed, reliability and simplicity, making it effortless to stay connected in flight.
