Yes. 642 of 1,678 United aircraft (38%) have Starlink Wi-Fi as of October 16, 2026. United plans to equip every plane by the end of 2027.
Mostly United Express regional jets: 352 of 513 (68%) have it, against 290 of 1,165 mainline aircraft (24%). The fleet page lists every plane.
No, not yet. 38% of the fleet has it, so it depends on the plane assigned to your flight. United Express flights (UA3000 to UA6999) are the likeliest to have it.
Enter your flight number and date in the flight check. About two days before departure United assigns the aircraft and you get a firm yes or no. Further out you get the odds, based on the planes that flight has used recently. The Chrome extension shows the same answer on Google Flights.

Use the route planner. It ranks nonstop flights and one-stop connections by their chance of Starlink. Express jets are far likelier to have it than mainline, so a connection on two Express jets can beat a mainline nonstop. Denver to Chicago nonstop is mainline, for example, while Denver to Aspen to Chicago is Express on both legs.
On some. Widebody installs began with UA14, Newark to London on a Boeing 777-200, on June 22, 2026. In that day's release, United said nearly 60 widebodies would have Starlink during 2026 and the whole widebody fleet by summer 2027. Check your flight for its aircraft.
About 59 aircraft a month. United's first Starlink install was in March 2025, and 642 aircraft have it today. The install pace page tracks it against United's targets.
United's target is every United and United Express aircraft by the end of 2027, with more than 880 expected by the end of 2026. Today 38% of the 1,678-plane fleet has it. The rollout timeline lists each milestone with its source.
