Now, all Emirates passengers in every class of travel can enjoy some form of free connectivity once they sign up to Emirates Skywards, the airline announced on Friday.

This was made possible through a recent enhancement to the carrier's inflight connectivity. The development has resulted in an additional 30,000 Economy Class passengers connecting to complimentary onboard Wi-Fi every week.

All Emirates Skywards members in every class of travel can now enjoy some form of free connectivity. Skywards members, whether Blue, Silver, Gold, or Platinum tier, travelling in any class — whether Economy, Premium Economy, Business or First Class — will enjoy free app messaging.

Additionally, First Class passengers will have unlimited free internet if they are Skywards members, enabling them to shop or work online while inflight, as will Silver, Gold and Platinum Skywards members travelling in Business Class. Platinum Skywards members have complimentary internet access in all classes.

The airline has constantly been at the forefront of inflight Wi-Fi developments and has to date invested more than $300 million dollars
