More questions

Planning a trip

How do I maximize my chances of getting Starlink?

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.

Does United have Starlink on international flights?

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.

The rollout

How fast is United's Starlink rollout?

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.

When will all United flights have Starlink?

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.

Using this tracker

How does this tracker work?

We combine fleet data from aviation data providers with flight schedules, then confirm each aircraft's Wi-Fi against United's own systems. The methodology page has the details.

Thanks to the unitedfleetsite community, whose fleet data got this project started.

Can I use this with Claude or other AI assistants?

Yes. The free MCP server works with Claude Desktop, Cursor and any MCP client. Ask things like "does UA4680 next week have Starlink?" or "find me the best way to fly SFO to JAX with Starlink".
