Need a reason to fly with JetBlue? How about free in-flight Wi-Fi?

JetBlue announced Wednesday it has completed the expansion of Fly-Fi, its free in-flight Wi-Fi service, making it the only airline to offer wireless internet to customers at no additional cost.

Fly-Fi is now available on all 227 of the airline's planes, spanning the entire fleet of Airbus A320s, A321s and Embraer 190s.

JetBlue first introduced Fly-Fi on select planes in 2013 and the installation completion marks yet another milestone for the airline.

The airline already offers a handful of in-flight entertainment options including anywhere between 36 and 100 channels of free DirecTV, depending on the specific aircraft; over 100 channels of free SiriusXM; free movies; and Amazon Video streaming.

From the boarding gate to arrival gate, Fly-Fi lets JetBlue customers connect wirelessly to the internet the entire journey.

Fly-Fi is also an uninterrupted Wi-Fi service, meaning customers don't need to wait until they're up in the air before they can get online. From the boarding gate to arrival gate, Fly-Fi lets JetBlue customers connect wirelessly to the internet the entire journey.

Fly-Fi's internet speeds are pretty speedy, too, compared to competing paid in-flight Wi-Fi services, with an average connection speed of up to 15 Mbps (some users have experienced faster speeds at up to 30 Mbps).

In comparison, Gogo, the world's largest in-flight internet provider currently tops out at about 10 Mbps, though the company plans to increase Wi-Fi speeds to up to 100 Mbps by 2018 with a network equipment overhaul.

"It’s 2017 and our customers expect to be connected everywhere, whether that be from the comfort of their sofa or 35,000 feet above it," Jet Blue's vice president of marketing Jamie Perry said in a press release. "That’s why we’re so proud that JetBlue is now the only airline to offer free, high-speed Wi-Fi, live TV and movies for all customers on every plane."
