LOT Begins Rolling Out Wi-Fi on Dreamliner Fleet

LOT Polish Airlines has introduced in-flight Wi-Fi on the first aircraft in its long-haul fleet, marking the start of a broader rollout across its Boeing 787 Dreamliners. The service is now active on one Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, registered SP-LSA. Two additional aircraft are expected to receive the same connectivity by the end of April as the airline gradually expands internet access across its long-distance network.

The onboard internet is powered by Viasat’s next-generation connectivity system, Viasat Amara. The technology is designed to provide stable online access throughout the flight. LOT says the service responds to growing expectations among passengers who increasingly rely on internet access while travelling. Once connected, passengers can message family and colleagues, handle work online, or watch films and other content during the flight.

Wi-Fi packages available on LOT Dreamliners

• Chat – $7, allowing messaging through popular apps
• Streaming – $29, offering full internet access for browsing, videos and work

Complimentary internet access is available to Business Class passengers and to Miles & More members with selected loyalty statuses, regardless of travel class. The different packages allow passengers to choose between simple messaging or more intensive online use while in the air.

With connectivity gradually appearing on more Dreamliners, passengers on LOT’s long-haul routes may find it easier to stay online during extended journeys. The airline operates intercontinental flights linking Europe with destinations across North America, Asia and the Middle East. Passengers can send messages, watch videos or deal with work during the flight, which helps pass the time on longer journeys.

The introduction of Wi-Fi reflects how long-haul travel is changing. Internet access has become a normal expectation rather than an extra feature, particularly on routes that last many hours. As LOT equips more aircraft with connectivity, passengers will likely begin to treat flights as an extension of their daily routine, whether that means staying in touch, catching up on work, or simply browsing online above the clouds.
