A MAJOR airline has revealed an easy hack for England fans to watch the Euros final from the sky so holidaymakers don’t miss out.
Thousands of Brits are gearing up for tomorrow’s highly anticipated final match between England and Spain.
Despite being thousands of feet in the air, even travelling supporters can watch the match, thanks to a hack shared by British Airways.
The popular airline posted on Instagram: “If you’re flying on Sunday you can watch the Final of UEFA EURO 2024 on Sport 24 live on your own device by following the link on our Wi-Fi portal.”
British Airways recently announced they would put on extra flights as thousands of England fans head to Germany for the match.
The airline claimed it would operate two additional flights from Heathrow to Berlin on Sunday in time for kick-off.
The showdown between England and Spain starts at 8pm and will be broadcast on BBC One and ITV1.
If you’re watching the final in the comfort of your home rather than 20,000ft in the air, be sure to follow these tips to avoid a buffering nightmare.
Buffering occurs when the internet connection between the router and the device keeps cutting off and joining again.
The BBC has revealed five tips to ensure you don’t have this problem while watching the match.
Fans experiencing buffering at home should disconnect other devices connected to the same internet.
Alternatively, you can just turn them on or off to see if that makes a difference.
A good internet connection will be needed if fans want to watch the match uninterrupted.
If your internet isn’t fast enough the program will likely buffer and a message saying you have “insufficient bandwidth” will appear.
If your internet connection is poor, it might be worth switching to standard definition as opposed to high definition, according to the BBC.
The latter requires more bandwidth which can lead to buffering if the internet connection isn’t strong enough.
BBC iPlayer on phones and tablets will automatically adjust the video quality throughout the game, depending on your internet connection.
Having several tabs open on your browser while trying to watch the Euros final is bound to cause buffering, especially if your internet connection is poor.
Make sure to get rid of any unnecessary tabs to avoid constant buffering.
If you’re using a browser and have issues with BBC iPlayer on your computer, mobile or tablet, try using another browser to see if it helps.
Having a wired connection does improve connectivity.
However, if you don’t have one, moving closer to your internet router is an alternative.
Additionally, checking your internet speed can help identify whether the issues are with the router or your device.
