inflight Wi-Fi United Airlines United Airlines is rolling out free Starlink Wi-Fi across its entire fleet, offering travelers high-speed, reliable connectivity in the sky. Starting next month, United will begin testing the technology. The first commercial flight equipped with Starlink is expected to take off this spring aboard an Embraer E-175. United now plans to outfit its entire two-cabin regional fleet by the end of this year and have its first mainline Starlink-enabled plane in the air before the end of this year. Ultimately, United will add Starlink to its entire fleet. Access will be free for all MileagePlus customers and includes game-changing inflight entertainment experiences like streaming services, shopping, gaming and more. Membership to MileagePlus is also free and people can sign-up now at united.com/starlink. “We have a lot planned for our MileagePlus members this year and adding Starlink to as many planes as we can – as quickly as we can – is at the center of it all,” said Richard Nunn, CEO of United MileagePlus. “It’s not only going to revolutionize the experience of flying United, but it’s also going to unlock tons of new partnerships and benefits for our members that otherwise wouldn’t be possible.” Last September, United signed the industry’s largest agreement of its kind with SpaceX to bring Starlink to its entire fleet. And starting in a few months, the airline’s customers will enjoy the same high-speed, low-latency internet service in the air that they enjoy on the ground. This gate-to-gate connectivity will enable experiences in the sky at scale that no other major U.S. airline provides, on seatback screens and personal devices simultaneously. MileagePlus was recently rated the world’s best airline loyalty program and includes the following features: Free to join, for all customers Free to earn miles
