Qantas starts international wifi

At this point, I'm hoping for QF to abandon Viasat and move towards Starlink. Friends recently travelled on HA from SYD-HNL.

It is piss poor that we are "waiting" for Viasat. Especially in 2024. My friends have moved to SQ or DL for free WiFi now.

Apparently the max bandwidth per aircraft is 350Mbps on Starlink so your friend mustn’t have had much competition. I’m travelling on HA this week so I’ll give it a try myself.

He stated full flight with two people Facetiming, lowest speed he got was 78 down 13 up.

Safe travels and have fun on the Moana 2 branded planes!
