Call from British Airways flights
BABritish Airways long-haul and short-haul flights are equipped with .air satellite Wi-Fi. Whether voice calls are allowed on board is up to the airline's own Wi-Fi rules, so check them first, or call before you board or after you land. Bypass expensive UK cellular roaming and reach home or office lines from your browser.
Avoid seat phone & AeroMobile traps
Seat-back phones charge high per-minute rates. If your phone joins an onboard mobile network, your carrier bills the calls as roaming, usually at high rates. Keep Airplane Mode on and call over the Wi-Fi instead.
Onboard satellite internet setup
Wi-Fi provider: Intelsat .air Wi-Fi
Global hub: London Heathrow Airport (LHR)
Firewall info: The airline's own Wi-Fi rules decide whether voice calls are allowed on board, and we have not checked them. Check them before you call; if calls are not allowed, use QuikRing before you board or after you land.
