As United Airlines moves toward free high-speed Wi-Fi across its fleet, today marks an important milestone: its first mainline aircraft with Starlink internet will take flight.
United is hosting a media flight today from Chicago to show off the new service. Unfortunately, I am busy in California today with other work obligations, but I’m still excited for this important occasion and I hope that the rollout to other mainline aircraft will be rapid in the months ahead.
I recently experienced Starlink internet on a United Express flight for the first time and consider it a game-changer in terms of United’s internet offering. We’ve come a long way from the day of tepid speeds that could not even load email.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Live and Let's Fly.
