Delta: free Wi-Fi now on most transatlantic routes, coming to regional jets

As of early April, all customers flying across Delta’s transatlantic network to Europe, Israel and West Africa will have access to fast, free Delta Sync Wi-Fi presented by T-Mobile. In addition, the Wi-Fi rollout expands to routes serving South America, which Delta expects to complete later this spring.

But even for those not flying overseas, the Wi-Fi rollout is quickly coming closer to home for many customers: this spring, Delta outfitted the first of its fleet of more than 400 regional jets—a CRJ-700—with fast, free Wi-Fi and entered service.

As part of that connectivity upgrade, Delta will equip its entire Boeing 717 fleet with a first-of-its-kind solution that sets a new standard for connectivity in commercial aviation. The solution enables simultaneous dual-network connectivity to deliver the best possible online experience—which means seamless streaming to personal devices and superior performance across Delta’s network.


Once boarding doors close, SkyMiles Members can instantly access the Internet on one or more of their devices – no need to wait until they reach 10,000 feet. Customers on domestic and exit-U.S. flights can stream the latest from Paramount+ on their devices; access offers from brands they love; find travel inspiration for their journey (as well as real-time updates for their trip); challenge themselves with games and puzzles from New York Times Games; play the retro-style Sky Hopper game for a chance to win a $400 gift card; browse unique gifts and Centennial-branded merch in Delta Sync Wi-Fi’s on-board Delta Shop. Delta expects dual-network connectivity retrofits to begin Q4, with the entire 717 fleet expected to be complete by early 2026.

Coming in late 2026, select new delivery A350-1000 and A321neo aircraft will also be outfitted with dual-network connectivity solution, further enhancing our next-generation Delta Sync seatback experience
