Vistara, which will soon merge with Air India, has announced that it will start offering complimentary Wi-Fi to all passengers on international flights.
Vistara’s Complimentary Wi-Fi
Full service carrier Vistara will offer complimentary Wi-Fi on its international flights operated by Airbus A321neo and Boeing B787-9 Dreamliner aircraft. The airline says that this is a first for Indian aviation.
The airline will offer 20 minutes of complimentary Wi-Fi to all passengers irrespective of their class of flying. Passengers can use Indian Credit and Debit cards or internationally issued Credit cards to purchase paid plans onboard during the 20-minute complimentary session. Passengers will receive One Time Password (OTP) on their registered email ID.
Business Class passengers and Platinum Club Vistara members will continue to have 50 MB complimentary Wi-Fi. Additionally, all Club Vistara members, irrespective of their Club Vistara tier and class of flying, will have access to complimentary Wi-Fi just for only using messaging apps like WhatsApp, iMessage etc.
