United Airlines introduces a new online tool that lets passengers check whether a specific flight has Starlink Wi‑Fi. Travelers can enter a flight number to see whether the aircraft assigned to that flight is equipped with the satellite internet service.
Multiple outlets report that Starlink Wi‑Fi has been rolling out across United’s fleet since early 2025. TechRadar says Starlink is active on more than 635 aircraft across United’s mainline and regional fleets, and 9to5Mac reports that nearly half of United flights currently offer the service. The new tracker is positioned as a more direct way for customers to confirm availability before travel.
The sources agree on the core announcement and the method for checking, but they emphasize different context points: 9to5Mac highlights the proportion of flights with coverage, TechRadar focuses on the aircraft count, and Engadget and Business Insider focus on the convenience of the new flight-by-flight lookup.
