Emirates, one of the leading airlines in the world, has announced that it would offer basic complimentary inflight WiFi to all passengers, regardless of cabin and travel class. The development has resulted in an additional 30,000 Economy Class passengers connecting to complimentary onboard Wi-Fi every week.

While this inflight internet won’t require any payment, all one has to do is sign up first to be member of Emirates Skywards members. Emirates Skywards is the carrier’s loyalty program, which is free to join.

All Emirates Skywards members in every class of travel can now enjoy some form of free connectivity. Skywards members, whether Blue, Silver, Gold, or Platinum tier, traveling in any class, whether Economy, Premium Economy, Business or First Class will enjoy free app messaging.

Additionally, First Class passengers will have unlimited free internet if they are Skywards members, enabling them to shop or work online while inflight, as will Silver, Gold and Platinum Skywards members traveling in Business Class. Platinum Skywards members have complimentary internet access in all classes.

Those interested can sign up via emirates.com, flydubai.com, through the official Emirates app, or the flydubai app and directly from the Wi-Fi portal onboard. Emirates Skywards has more than 30 million members worldwide, offering unmatched rewards in the air and on-ground including airlines, hotels, car rental, banks and a multitude of retail and lifestyle options.

Emirates operates daily passenger flights to and from Nairobi, in addition to special cargo services from Eldoret.
