Qantas starts international wifi

[moa999]

but the engineer told her he didn’t think it would.

So there was an engineer on the flight? Presumably not just for the wifi?

We had an unrelated maintenance issue and he was on board when she made the WiFi announcement just before we pushed back.

I was on QF35 MEL - SIN yesterday, operated by VH-EBJ and received this while in the Melbourne dungeon. It then indeed materialised during the flight.

Exactly what I had on SYD-HND

Reading between the lines I think it’s hard-blocked because of the route.

Yeh given that I was on the same plane but JP route and it was off but HK and it was on. I'm pretty sure it's now route based (assuming its capable).

Domestic Wi-Fi can be just as bad. Several DOM flights last week had intermittent Wi-Fi, and all across land. I had to keep reconnecting!
