Yes — every heavy and ULR jet in our fleet carries Ka- or Ku-band satellite Wi-Fi suitable for video calls and streaming across the full North Atlantic crossing.
Can pets fly on the route?
Yes — pets travel in the cabin alongside their owners on every Limitless Sky charter. Let us know the species and weight when you request a quote so we can confirm destination-country import requirements.
