March 5, 2024 at 10:26 EDT By Spencer Howard

British Airways will start allowing free messaging on a single device via their inflight WiFi on April 3, 2024. Free messaging will be available on all aircraft with Wi-Fi capability within two weeks of the rollout. For context, all BA flights out of London Gatwick (LGW) and 80%+ out of London Heathrow (LHR) have WiFi with the remaining aircraft operating out of Heathrow expected to have WiFi by the end of next year.
