Ready to make every trip better? Here’s how.  8 min readListen IconListen Listen to this article 0:00 - Facebook IconShare on Facebook - Share on Twitter - LinkedIn IconShare on LinkedIn You’re settling into your seat headed for a bucket-list getaway. The kids are streaming with free in-flight Wi-Fi, you’re texting the dog sitter one last reminder and before long the drink cart rolls by — complimentary rosé included. Vacation mode: activated. When you land, your rental car perks are already waiting. And if the trip takes you beyond traditional cell coverage, satellite connectivity can help keep you covered on the road less traveled. That’s the kind of experience T‑Mobile gives members on qualifying plans all year long: fewer surprise costs, less travel chaos and more room in the budget for the things that make the trip worth it. And with travel costs adding up, every little perk counts. But you can breathe easy, because it all comes together in a snap in the [T‑Mobile Travel](https://hub.tmobiletravel.com/travel-home/) section of the [T-Life](https://www.t-mobile.com/apps) app, your one-stop destination for exclusive partner perks, sweet savings and industry-leading benefits made for the way members actually travel. ## In the Air: What Travel Perks Do T‑Mobile Members Get on Flights? T‑Mobile pioneered free in-flight Wi-Fi, and now it’s continuing to transform the travel experience with a perk that feels especially elite. T‑Mobile members can get a premium [in-flight drink](https://www.t-mobile.com/benefits/travel) on most Delta flights on Us, so you can sip back and relax with your beverage of choice as you soak in the vacay vibes. You just have to be an eligible member 21+ and make sure you link T-Life with your SkyMiles account at least 24 hours before your trip. Please enjoy responsibly. And if you’re traveling with friends or family who aren’t T‑Mobile members yet, here’s another thing worth knowing: T‑Mobile sponsors [free in-flight Wi-Fi](https://www.t-mobile.com/benefits/travel/in-flight-wifi) on Delta, Alaska, Hawaiian and Southwest flights. All you need is a free loyalty account with the airline, like SkyMiles for Delta or Rapid Rewards for Southwest. Already signed up? You’re good to go. Once you’re connected at 30,000 feet, you can stream away with Hulu and Netflix on Us and Apple TV for just $3 per month on [Experience Beyond](https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans) plans, make any last-minute dinner reservations or simply enjoy that premium drink. ## Behind the Wheel: What Travel Perks Come with T‑Mobile on a Road Trip?
