American Airlines now offers satellite-based Wi-Fi access across its mainline fleet

American Airlines, the world's largest airline by fleet size and passenger traffic, has finished rolling out satellite-based broadband Wi-Fi to its entire mainline narrowbody fleet of more than 700 aircraft (that is, the Boing 737s and Airbus A319 and 320 that typically fly the company's domestic routes). All of these satellite-equipped planes also offer access to 12 free channels of live TV that you can stream to your personal device, including on international flights where this hasn't traditionally been an option.
