Verizon has historically partnered with Gogo on limited free passes, but as of May 2026 there's no broad free-on-every-airline benefit included with Verizon postpaid plans. If free in-flight WiFi is a priority, T-Mobile remains the carrier perk to look at.

No. TravelPass is a cellular international roaming benefit — it lets your phone use cellular networks abroad. It has nothing to do with in-flight WiFi, which uses satellite or air-to-ground systems entirely separate from cellular. I read Verizon used to have free in-flight WiFi — is that gone?

There is no current standing program. What's the equivalent of T-Mobile in-flight WiFi for Verizon customers? There isn't one.
