Following an exclusive deal between BT Openzone, British Airways and Oneworld Alliance, BA customers will now be able to make use of a free Wi-Fi hotspot in 25 of the airline’s lounges in the UK and Jersey. The new Wi-Fi service will also be available in the new lounge complex in the recently opened Heathrow Terminal 5.

British Airways now becomes one of the first UK based airlines to offer free WiFi to their passengers, and rather than use vouchers, travellers will be directed to the British Aiways website where they’ll be able to connect to a BT Openzone using any wireless-enabled device.

Chris Bruce, General Manager of BT Openzone said: “British Airways has met customer demand for free Wi-Fi head on. Wireless broadband is an essential tool for both business and leisure travellers. The explosion in Wi-Fi enabled devices is accelerating this trend and the British Airways service means that passengers can use their time productively before boarding their flights.”
