Brussels Airlines Launches Free Starlink Wi-Fi on One Jet
Brussels Airlines has begun offering free Starlink Wi-Fi, letting passengers stream videos and work online while flying. Its first connected flight departed on 9 November 2026, but the launch comes with a limitation: only one aircraft currently has the equipment. The airline plans to install more systems over the coming months, and even passengers flying the same route may not get the new connection.
Brussels Airlines’ Starlink Rollout at a Glance
- Airline: Brussels Airlines.
- First flight: SN2257, Brussels–Copenhagen, 9 November 2026.

On an equipped aircraft, switch your device to flight mode, turn Wi-Fi back on and join the "Lufthansa Group Wi-Fi" network. Sign in using a Travel ID or Miles & More account. A Travel ID is free to create, including during the flight. If the login screen does not open, visit wifi.brusselsairlines.com in your browser. There is no separate Wi-Fi fee or voucher to buy.
The connection supports messaging, streaming and shared documents, so passengers can catch up on a series or work on files in the cloud. Headphones are compulsory when playing sound, while voice calls, video calls and livestreams are prohibited. Listening to an online meeting is permitted, provided headphones are used. Everyone must accept the onboard rules before connecting, regardless of ticket class or loyalty status.
The inaugural aircraft serves a European route, but Brussels Airlines has not named the next flights to get Starlink. Even someone booking Brussels–Copenhagen should not expect it on every departure: aircraft assignments can change. The service will become easier to find as more planes are fitted, but that will take time. Set up your free account before travelling and save essential files offline as a precaution.
