Your guide to inflight Wi-Fi

How to connect once onboard
Once onboard a Wi-Fi enabled aircraft, you can connect your own devices to our inflight Wi-Fi in three simple steps:
- Enable Flight Mode and select the 'Qantas free Wi-Fi' network in your device settings once onboard.
- Follow the prompts on the 'Welcome onboard' screen to connect.
- Once you're connected, you're ready to access the internet and start exploring.
How Qantas Wi-Fi works

Qantas Wi-Fi is currently available on select domestic and international flights when travelling in Australian airspace. This is due to satellite coverage and regulatory requirements.
Wi-Fi enabled aircraft are fitted with an antenna and several Wi-Fi hotspots fitted into the ceiling. Once the aircraft has reached the required altitude, you can connect to the internet.
Once the aircraft leaves Australian airspace, Wi-Fi will no longer be available.
International Wi-Fi expansion
As we welcome our new Wi-Fi enabled A321XLR, A350 and B787 aircraft over the next few years, we’re working to bring you fast and free Wi-Fi for your full international journey. To make this happen, we’re partnering with Viasat to ensure clear connections to new satellites that can keep you connected everywhere in the air.

On the horizon
Leveraging Viasat satellite technology and retrofitting our existing A330-200s with Wi-Fi capability will allow us to offer:
- Fast and free Wi-Fi on flights across the Tasman and
- Wi-Fi on select routes across Asia.
