Atlanta-based Delta Air Lines brought in the new year with very good travel news for passengers: free Wi-Fi on flights.
The news means that instead of paying $50 a month, frequent customers can enjoy internet service at no charge.
Delta Air Lines Flights To Get Free Wi-Fi
The airline made the announcement at the recent Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, where companies unveil the latest tech developments in the works.
For Delta, the Wi-Fi rollout will be a gradual one with planes on the airline’s most popular routes first to receive it. After that, smaller jets and the wide-body aircraft used for international flights will get free internet service in 2024.
You’ll be able to know if your particular plane is enabled for Wi-Fi by an icon on display near the boarding area, the airline said.
How Much Does Delta Charge For Wi-Fi?
If your plane isn’t equipped for free Wi-Fi, Delta charges $7 for a one-hour pass. There are also monthly Wi-Fi plans available for purchase.
As we mentioned, it costs $49.95 for monthly access to Wi-Fi on all domestic flights that Delta has equipped for internet service.
What Airlines Have Free Wi-Fi?
Delta joins JetBlue Airways as the only other major airline to offer complimentary internet service to its customers.
Final Word
Free Wi-Fi is yet another perk that Delta is offering its passengers. The airline announced in January 2022 that travelers that the expiration date for any travel credits you still have has been extended through 2023.

Months after his death, Atlanta rapper Takeoff received a musical tribute from fellow rap groupmate and real-life uncle Quavo during the Grammy Awards ceremony Sunday night, Feb. 5.
During the emotional song, Missing You, Quavo was accompanied by a gospel choir amid a backdrop of images featuring him, Takeoff and Offset, the Migos.
Takeoff was shot three times in the body and head on November 1, 2022 in Houston, Texas. The suspect has been arrested and is set to go on trial in Takeoff’s death.
Quavo Performs Takeoff Tribute At Grammy Awards
Watch Quavo’s Grammy Awards performance:
In January, Quavo released the Takeoff tribute track “Without You.”In the song, Quavo says this about Takeoff:
I wish I had a time machine
Just so you can take a ride with me (Skrr-skrrt)
I miss just how you smile at me (Smile)
Unc and Phew until infinity (Infinity)While much of the rap world and music fans as a whole mourned his death, understandably, Quavo was perhaps the hardest hit by Takeoff’s death. In the days after the incident, he wrote:
“You are OUR angel, watching me and watching us this whole time in living form making sure EVERYONE FELT UR LOVE AND HUGS while u here and u made our dreams come true,”
Before he was killed, Takeoff and Quavo had recently recorded and released a new album, Unc & Phew, releasing its first single just days before.
Days after the fatal shooting, throngs of people gathered at Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium for a ticket-only funeral service.
When Are The 2023 Grammy Awards?

This meant that more changes were in store for the bathware store.When the latest store closures were announced, Sue Gove, President & CEO of Bed Bath & Beyond said, “Today’s announcement underscores the importance of having initiated a turnaround at the start of the third quarter and why we strengthened our leadership team to execute each step with precision.

Meanwhile, the CIA and U.S. Navy SEALs utilize a vibranium-detecting machine to locate a potential vibranium deposit underwater. The expedition is killed by a group of blue-skinned, water-breathing superhumans led by Namor, with the CIA believing Wakanda to be responsible. Namor confronts Ramonda and Shuri, easily bypassing Wakanda’s advanced security. Blaming Wakanda for the vibranium race, he gives them an ultimatum: deliver him the scientist responsible for the vibranium-detecting machine, or he will attack Wakanda.

So, you’re thinking about flying with Delta Air Lines. Looking at cheap fares online, you may have run across Delta’s Basic Economy.
With a Basic Economy ticket, you should have firm travel dates and don’t expect a lot of extras, because these fares are no-frills flights.
In this article, we’ll tell you everything you need to know about Delta’s Basic Economy seats.
Delta Basic Economy Fares: Everything You Need To Know
We’re not saying that these fares don’t come with restrictions, because they do — a lot of them. But you need to know exactly what they are so you can choose whether the flight is right for you.
Quick Links
Here’s everything you need to know about what you get with a Delta Basic Economy Fare:
What Is Delta Basic Economy?
Delta Basic Economy is a no-frills airfare designed to compete with the fares on low budget airlines like WestJet and Allegiant Air.
Basic Economy fares are hard to find on Delta.com, but they can be found pretty easily on the online booking sites like Booking.com, Expedia, Travelocity and Orbit.
As I alluded to earlier, Delta makes them visible there so that they can compete with other budget fares.
What’s The Difference Between Basic Economy And Main Cabin On Delta?
The difference between Basic Economy and Main Cabin on Delta is that you don’t get many of the features available to standard Main Cabin passenger.
That means you don’t get a seat assignment, ticket changes or other amenities.
Let’s talk about that a bit more in the next section on Basic Economy restrictions.
Restrictions
- Complimentary carry-on bag. Because you’ll likely board near the end, the overhead compartment space may be limited, but they may gate check your bags for free.
- Checked bag fee, depending on the route: Please visit Delta’s Baggage and Travel Fees page for details
- Seat assigned after check-in: Depending on the flight, you may be able to pay for a better seat.
- No ticket changes or upgrades: The exception is if you’ve booked your flight within the last 24 hours.
- No same-day confirmed or same-day standby travel changes
Delta Basic Economy Seating
Because Delta does branded boarding represented by colors, you’ll usually have to pay attention to which color is boarding, but not with Basic Economy.
With those low-cost tickets, you’re basically boarding last on all Delta flights. By the rare chance that the plane is not full and you can spread around, you may be able to move up into a better seat in the cabin.
If not, you’ll typically be seated in what was formerly known as the fifth zone of the plane. Again, you may be able to move up into the Cabin 3, Cabin 2 and Cabin 1 areas depending on availability.
Can I Bring A Carry-On?
All passengers boarding the main cabin in Basic Economy are allowed to bring a carry-on as well as a personal item.
The carry-on must be able to fit in the overhead bin. Meanwhile, the personal item must be able to fit underneath the seat in front of you.
Delta Basic Economy Food
While some of Delta’s more priciest seats come with better meals depending on the flight, Basic Economy food consists of Delta’s signature service.
Food: You will get complimentary snacks like Biscoff cookies and peanuts.
Drink: For beverages, you’ll be served non-alcoholic beverages i.e. Starbucks coffee, tea, juice, sodas or water.
If you want more robust food, then Delta’s Basic Economy is not for you.
How To Save With A Delta Basic Economy Fare
There is however one way you can get around the free checked bag fee. If you are a Skymiles credit card holder, you may — and up to eight people on your reservation — be eligible for a free checked bag.
That little perk saves you $30 each way.
Final Word
To sum it all up, Delta Basic Economy is for people who are OK with not as much legroom as other seats on the plane and last-second seating arrangements. But it’s still a Delta flight.
That means you’ll still get the quality and service you’ve come to know and love on Delta.
To Atlanta is one of the most convenient places to travel to and from. A large part of that is because Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport is so accessible.
