🐞 Bug Report: FlyFi Captive Portal Fails on iPhone (iOS 26)
Severity: Level 1 – Critical usability failure during travel
Device: iPhone Air running iOS 26
Issue: Unable to connect to JetBlue FlyFi Wi-Fi network
Symptoms:
• Network shows as connected in Wi-Fi settings
• No IP address assigned or no internet access
• Captive portal (`flyfi.com`) fails to load in Safari, Chrome, Firefox
• Works fine on iPad (same Apple ID, same flight)
Troubleshooting Attempted:
• Disabled VPN, Private Relay, and content blockers
• Tried captive.apple.com and manual DNS override
• Toggled Private Wi-Fi Address
• Reset network settings
• Used multiple browsers and private mode
Impact:
This prevents access to in-flight Wi-Fi on JetBlue flights, affecting productivity, communication, and entertainment. The issue appears specific to iOS 26 and may be tied to captive portal handling or MAC address privacy.
