HasWifi: In-Flight Wifi Checker

The Demand for In-Flight Connectivity

Extended air travel can often feel tedious and result in lost productivity due to prolonged periods of inactivity. Consequently, in-flight Wi-Fi has become a highly sought-after amenity among airline passengers.

However, it's important to note that Wi-Fi isn't universally available on all flights. If you need to determine whether a specific flight offers internet access, HasWifi provides a convenient solution.

Utilizing the HasWifi Service

HasWifi is a complimentary web-based service designed to help you ascertain Wi-Fi availability on particular flights. Simply input the airline and flight number to check connectivity options.

While account registration isn’t directly required for HasWifi itself, the service leverages the TripIt API, meaning a TripIt account is necessary for full functionality.

Furthermore, users have the ability to contribute to the accuracy of the data by confirming or denying Wi-Fi access on flights they've experienced, using the "˜Yes' or "˜No' options provided on the results page.

Service Limitations

Currently, HasWifi focuses its tracking efforts on airlines utilizing GoGo in-flight Wi-Fi technology, and primarily within the United States.

Key Features of HasWifi

  • Allows users to verify Wi-Fi availability for specific flights.
  • Provides an example search to demonstrate functionality.
  • Is free to use, although a TripIt account is needed.
  • Currently limited to US-based flights and GoGo-enabled carriers.
