Change for Virgin Reward+ card holders...

We are pleased to advise of some upcoming enhancements to your Boingo Wi-Fi for Mastercard® Cardholders benefit, so we are working with Mastercard to make it easier than ever.

On March 9, 2023, cardholders eligible for Inflight Wi-Fi will be able to connect 12 times per calendar year for 90 minutes per session. This change does not limit the amount of data or sessions that can be consumed during each flight.

Your benefit at land based wi-fi hotspots remain unchanged. No passes are required to use land wi-fi hotspots; you can continue to enjoy your membership even when your passes are depleted.

I wondered the same thing. The start of the email was so positive too...

What I hadn't realised and only saw when I read the loyaltylobby post about this, is that the current limit in-flight wifi is 7 connects or 2100 MBs a month and you get your account suspended.

Boingo is also only available on the B789's and the A350's. It's not available on the A333's or A339's.
