United Airlines launched a Starlink Wi-Fi tracker on October 15, 2026, letting passengers enter a flight date and number up to three days before departure to see whether their aircraft has the hardware. Starlink is active on more than 635 mainline and United Express aircraft, about 43% of the fleet, covering over 2,500 daily flights and 250,000 customers, with roughly 20 aircraft added per week toward full completion by the end of 2027. Regional jets are at 68% coverage and mainline long-haul at 37%, with Chicago O'Hare the top hub at 55%; the service is free for MileagePlus members, while standard Wi-Fi costs $8 or 800 miles for members and $10 for non-members.
