LOT launches Wi-Fi on Dreamliners, starting with one aircraft

LOT Polish Airlines has started rolling out onboard internet across its long-haul fleet. The service is already available on the first Boeing 787 Dreamliner, registered SP-LSA, and is scheduled to be installed on two more aircraft by the end of April 2026. Viasat provides the technology, while LOT is selling two paid packages and offering complimentary access to selected premium passengers.

This is LOT’s first live Wi-Fi service on long-haul routes. The airline says the product will be added gradually to more Boeing 787s as cabin upgrades continue. In July 2024, LOT and Viasat said the connectivity project would cover 15 Dreamliners in the carrier’s wide-body fleet.

What packages are available

Passengers can buy a Chat package for USD 7 or a Streaming & Internet package for USD 29. The cheaper option supports text-based messaging apps such as WhatsApp, Messenger and iMessage, but excludes photo and video transfers. The higher-priced package is designed for broader web access, including online work, browsing and streaming.

LOT sells the service onboard only. Payments are processed in US dollars, and the airline accepts major credit cards as well as Apple Pay and Google Pay. One package can be used on one device at a time, although passengers can switch the connection to another device during the flight.

Who gets free access

Full internet access is included for LOT Business Class passengers. It is also available to Miles & More members with Senator and HON Circle status travelling on scheduled flights, regardless of cabin class.

For business travel buyers, two details matter most. First, the airline says the service is available from boarding until passengers leave the aircraft. Second, LOT explicitly lists remote work, email and messaging among the intended uses. The airline also notes that Wi-Fi is available on selected routes only, and connection quality may be limited on some flights.

Rollout starts small

At this stage, the service covers one aircraft, with two more Dreamliners due by the end of April. That means availability will depend on aircraft assignment over the coming weeks. For corporate travellers, this is the start of the rollout rather than a network-wide standard across LOT’s entire long-haul operation.
