Details

AIRLINE: British Airways
AIRCRAFT: Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner
STARLINK: Not available

British Airways flight BA5, operating from London (LHR) to Tokyo (HND), is flown by British Airways, and for "today," November 25, 2025, it is typically operated using a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft.

While British Airways has announced plans to roll out free, high-speed Starlink Wi-Fi across its entire fleet starting in 2026, this service is not yet available for flights today.

Currently, most British Airways Boeing 787-9 aircraft are equipped with Wi-Fi. The existing onboard Wi-Fi service usually becomes active once the aircraft reaches an altitude of approximately 10,000 feet. British Airways offers two Wi-Fi packages: a "Messaging" package and a "Stream" package. The Messaging package, which allows for instant messaging and text-based emails without attachments, is free for all British Airways Executive Club members. The Stream package offers faster speeds for web browsing, social media, larger emails, and streaming music and video content, but generally requires payment. Passengers flying in First Class receive complimentary access to the streaming Wi-Fi service. While Wi-Fi is available on most long-haul aircraft, British Airways does not provide a definitive way to check if a specific flight will have Wi-Fi in advance, advising passengers to check for an onboard announcement.
