The Fort Worth-based carrier announced the upgrade Tuesday, saying it was partnering with fellow Texas-based company and telecommunications giant AT &T to offer the Wi-Fi feature, which will be available to the airline's AAdvantage loyalty members on over 2 million flights starting in January of next year.

The offer will cover all planes equipped with Viasat and Intelsat high-speed satellite connectivity, accounting for roughly 90% of its fleet, but AA doesn’t specify airline types.
