Looks like VA expanding wifi access:

Complimentary Messaging

For select flight and message platforms.

I think if they want to market themselves as middle market they need to start to differentiate more from being what I see them as, which is a low cost carrier.

I actually find their WiFi pretty useless the times I've flown. I like to know where I am and what I'm seeing out the window and can only get flight radar to load 1/3 of the time, I usually give up.

Disagree on that one, speeds/ping is so much better than Qantas and because most people don't pay I usually get speeds of 40-50mbps sometimes higher.

Before VA try this offering, they should focus on their current WiFi working consistently for their Platinum members.
I was on a flight to Perth and even though it supposed to be WiFi enabled it wasn't working the entire flight - very annoying!

I think this is a good step in the right direction for VA.
Personally I’ve found the WiFi quite good on most flights.

This is typical for the route, on all carriers.
