Vistara Becomes First Airline to Offer Free In-Flight Wi-Fi on International Flights
Vistara, India’s premier full-service airline, has introduced a groundbreaking feature for its international flights: 20 minutes of complimentary Wi-Fi. This service, available on Vistara’s Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner and Airbus A321neo aircraft, marks a significant milestone as Vistara becomes the first Indian airline to offer free in-flight Wi-Fi across all cabins.
This initiative aligns with Vistara’s commitment to enhancing the travel experience for its customers. Passengers will be able to use the free 20 minutes of Wi-Fi to stay connected during their flight. For those requiring more internet access, the airline offers additional Wi-Fi plans purchasable using Indian credit or debit cards. Passengers will receive one-time passwords via email to facilitate these transactions, enabling them to easily buy extra connectivity during their active session.
Deepak Rajawat, Chief Commercial Officer of Vistara, expressed excitement about this new offering, stating, “We at Vistara are thrilled to be the first Indian airline to provide complimentary Wi-Fi on international flights across all cabins. Our dedication to continually improving our customers’ experiences drives this initiative.” We believe this addition will enhance the convenience, productivity, and overall enjoyment of our passengers’ journeys.”
Enjoy Free Wi- FI
Vistara equips its modern fleet with advanced in-flight entertainment systems, offering nearly 700 hours of content, including movies, TV shows, and audio titles. In addition to complimentary Wi-Fi, Panasonic Avionics powers the connectivity, ensuring seamless internet access at 35,000 feet. This allows passengers to access social media, check emails, and stay informed.
Global recognition highlights Vistara’s excellence, with high ratings on TripAdvisor and Skytrax and several prestigious awards. The airline ranks among the World’s Top 20 Airlines and holds the title of ’16th Best Airline’ globally for the second consecutive year. At the 2024 World Airline Awards by Skytrax, Vistara earned the titles of ‘Best Airline in India and South Asia’ for the fourth consecutive year and ‘Best Airline Staff in India and South Asia’ for the sixth year running, along with other accolades.
For those needing additional connectivity, Vistara offers three inflight Wi-Fi plans.

Non-members can access this plan for INR 372.74 plus taxes. The second plan, at INR 1,557.54 plus taxes, includes internet browsing with audio and video streaming capabilities.
