To make this possible across one of the world’s largest airline networks, the rollout will happen in phases. Starting in January, free high-speed Wi-Fi will begin rolling out across 100% of our narrowbody and dual-class regional fleets, and by early spring, it will be available on nearly every American Airlines flight.
Accessing free Wi-Fi is easy through the upgraded aainflight.com portal. Customers can simply log in using their AAdvantage® number and password, then select “Free Wi-Fi” to start browsing. The new portal is designed for speed, reliability and simplicity, making it effortless to stay connected in flight.

– American was the first U.S. airline to offer streaming capabilities across 100% of its mainline fleet.
