Qantas starts international wifi

Penultimate 789 VH-ZNM back from HKG overnight and straight into service as QF255 today.

ZNN has been sitting at SYD since arriving this morning.
Edit. And now scheduled as QF6009 to HKG at 2120.

International wifi is here and free - this was a pleasant surprise on VH-ZNA ex-YVR

Presumably getting heavily used for streaming at the time with that odd 2.9 down / 24.0 up ratio.

I almost booked QF1 over QF255 until i remembered that the a380 has no wifi and the b787 does. Definitely makes SYD-SIN route a bit more interesting.

I wonder if you could even book QF255 -> QF1 because of it.

10/ 14 787s - all bar ZNA L M N

Excellent info I must say - flying on ZND which qf app says no WiFi, and previously flew ZNE which was the same - app says no WiFi, but experience in flight said otherwise.

Looks like we have ZNL next week, app says no wifi

I imagine we'll only see an update after the last 787s comes back. Its always safer to underpromise and over deliver than the other way around.

My 787 flight for later this year says “Chance of Wi-Fi” in the Onboard Experience.
