Now on more than 1,000 Delta aircraft, SkyMiles® Members can access fast, free Delta Sync Wi-Fi — an unprecedented milestone in the airline’s journey to deliver a premium, connected and more personalized experience to every customer, on every flight.

At Delta, connection is at the heart of our mission, and the reason we lead the industry in bringing fast, free Wi-Fi to the skies, with more free Wi-Fi-equipped aircraft than any other U.S. carrier. That means more “hello”s from 30,000 feet, more inspiration sparked, more possibilities unlocked, more deals closed, more opportunities to share moments and updates instantly, more connections made before the wheels even touch down. To date, over 100 million sessions have been logged on Delta Sync Wi-Fi.

Delta Sync is the enabler that makes these personalized experiences and exclusive offers possible.”

Even better, Delta Sync is built to evolve with new features and experiences across more aircraft. Here’s what customers can look forward to in the coming months.
