It all depends on how well the initial testing over the first few months of the year goes and how the initial flight performs. Once all the kinks are worked out, United plans to gradually add Starlink connectivity to the rest of its fleet. Major Perks for MileagePlus Members If you’re a MileagePlus member, the news gets even better: Starlink Internet will be included for free. Considering membership is free, there’s no reason not to sign up for United Airlines’ frequent flyer program. The CEO of United’s MileagePlus program, Richard Nunn, said this is just the start of the new perks members can look forward to. Nunn hinted at even more partnerships and benefits, just from the addition of Starlink. For instance, how often have you just settled for falling asleep because you didn’t want to pay for Wi-Fi, or what you did pay for just wasn’t worth it? Now, not only is it free, but the low-latency Internet makes it easy to enjoy streaming, browsing, and more on personal devices and seatback screens. Now, it’s even easier to stay entertained. United Airlines Continues Improving the Tech Experience United Airlines is continuing to prove that they understand the needs of travelers. They want to stay connected and have access to entertainment, work, and more, even when they’re in the air. In 2023, United unveiled their Airbus A321neo with some impressive first-class tech upgrades. Travelers get to enjoy 13-inch 4K TVs on every seat, with featured snack and drink menus, access to hundreds of movies/shows, and even a 3D flight map. Plus, the screens let you pair your Bluetooth headphones, including AirPods.
