From November 1, Malaysia Airlines is offering free WiFi for all guests in select widebody aircrafts.

Malaysia Airlines has introduced complimentary WiFi service to all passengers travelling on selected widebody aircraft beginning November 1, regardless of cabin class or loyalty tier.

According to a press statement by Malaysia Airlines, this enhancement follows its complimentary in-flight Wi-Fi offering introduced for Business Suite and Business Class passengers, as well as Enrich Platinum members, including those seated in Economy Class, with a data cap of 100 MB per sector.

The airline adds that the service initially will be available on 20 widebody aircraft and subsequently, will be rolled out on selected narrow body aircraft in phases.

The airline says that with this new enhanced offering, passengers, including those travelling in Economy Class and non-Enrich members, will no longer be required to subscribe to the airline’s pay-per-use Wi-Fi. Passengers can simply connect their devices to the ‘MHconnect’ network to enjoy the airline’s free in-flight Wi-Fi.

“We are delighted to extend our complimentary Wi-Fi offering to passengers across all travel class, making us one of the first airlines to enable such convenience. In addition, unlike previous data capping, we now offer unlimited data, allowing guests to conveniently stay connected throughout their journey, whether connecting with their loved ones or for work purposes throughout their journey with us. We remain dedicated to ensuring that every aspect of our service is designed to make our customers’ journey as seamless, hassle-free and enjoyable as possible, and will continue to invest in initiatives that will greatly benefit their experience onboard Malaysian Hospitality,” says Ahmad Luqman Mohd Azmi, Chief Executive Officer of Airlines of Malaysia Aviation Group (MAG).

To further enhance the onboard experience and in conjunction with World’s Children Day in November, the airline says it will be giving away a curated offering exclusive for its young travellers. From November 1, children aged three to eight years old travelling on selected long-haul flights will receive free hampers. This in addition to the activity pack that is currently offered to the airline’s young travellers.

The airline says it is working on strategically improving its services and amenities, including through enriching the content available in its in-flight entertainment (IFE) offerings and enhancing its cabin experience, all aimed at ensuring that passenger comfort, convenience and enjoyment are prioritised.
