At the moment, we’re seeing a bit of an inflight Wi-Fi revolution, in terms of airlines introducing Starlink Wi-Fi, which offers speeds that are truly in line with what you’d expect on the ground (unlike the faux “high speed” Wi-Fi offered by Viasat, etc., which can be good, but not reliably great).
Among the “major” US airlines, we’ve seen Alaska, Hawaiian, Southwest, and United, all go with Starlink, while we’ve seen Delta go with Amazon Leo (a questionable choice, given the timeline). Well, American has now announced plans to upgrade its inflight Wi-Fi, and it’s great news.
This service will be offered on a complimentary basis, and there’s no indication that you’ll even need to be an AAdvantage member to use the service.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
