Lufthansa and Austrian Airlines are offering high speed internet on many of their short- and medium-haul flights. 

Internet access will also be available on Eurowings flights in a few weeks’ time.

Until now, 19 Lufthansa A320 aircraft, as well 31 Austrian Airlines and 29 Eurowings aircraft have been fitted with the necessary wifi technology and satellite antennae for this service.

Additional aircrafts are in the process of being equipped. The new high speed technology has been successfully tested in the past months on both Lufthansa and Austrian Airlines flights.

Internet access works via wifi using the passengers’ own mobile devices.

Customers can choose from one of three service packages. On Lufthansa flights, they comprise FlyNet Message, FlyNet Surf and FlyNet Stream.

Austrian Airlines will offer the same services under the names myAustrian FlyNet Message, myAustrian FlyNet Surf and myAustrian FlyNet Stream.

Passengers can either pay via credit card or payment services such as PayPal for the services which cost up to EUR12. It will also soon be possible to make purchases by using Air Miles or via roaming partners.
