On Wednesday, Qantas announced it would be offering Foxtel, Netflix and Spotify on all Wi-Fi enabled flights from late February.
Airplane Wi-Fi does not have best reputation for speed, but in a statement, the Australian airline claimed its service will be "10 times faster" than your average inflight setup thanks to its use of the National Broadband Network's Sky Muster satellite.
As laid out when Qantas first announced its internet plans in early 2016, the company is testing ViaSat satellite-receiving equipment to help planes connect.

In fact, a number of airlines are moving away from installing their own inflight entertainment systems now that passengers are increasingly bringing their own tablets and smartphones onboard.
American Airlines announced in January it would be dropping back-of-seat screens in new aircraft. "It makes sense for American to focus on giving customers the best entertainment and fast connection options rather than installing seatback monitors that will be obsolete within a few years," an American Airlines spokesperson told CNN.
A Qantas spokesperson said the company had no plans to do the same.
In the longterm, pushing fliers towards services like Netflix would also save airlines from having to negotiate rights deals for its own content offerings. In Qantas' case, the announcement is also good news for Foxtel, Netflix and Spotify, who'll find themselves with a captive audience. But for passengers? It's so-so.
Foxtel is offering three days of free access to its app each time the passenger flies, no subscription required. But Netflix and Spotify are only offering a one-off 30 day free trial, which they also give to new customers whose feet never leave the ground. And of course, they require you to sign up for the free trial so they can pester you later.
For the moment, the service will only be switched on for domestic flights throughout 2017, but the company is looking at expanding it internationally. It's working with suppliers to find a way to get around coverage hurdles "including options for Wi-Fi over large stretches over water."
And please remember, there's no such thing as safe public Wi-Fi, so take precautions.
