JetBlue has become the first airline to offer free, high-speed Wi-Fi on all flights.
According to the Times, the airline has announced that it will offer its “Fly-Fi” aboard every aircraft—from the departure gate to the arrival gate—so that customers can stay connected without having to wait for the aircraft to ascend beyond 10,000 feet.
With Fly-Fi, passengers can watch free movies, stream content from Amazon Video, browse the web, and use messaging apps.
There is also the option to shop on Amazon onboard and earn JetBlue’s TrueBlue points for each dollar spent on purchases.
JetBlue first introduced Fly-Fi aboard a single aircraft back in 2013, before unveiling it on its entire fleet of 227 Airbus A320s, A321s, and Embraer 190s.
The Wi-Fi comes in addition to entertainment amenities already available to customers that include 36 channels of Direct TV on its E190 and A320 aircraft and more than 100 channels on its A321.
