How to check if your United flight has Starlink

1. 1.
   Find your flight number

   It's on your confirmation, boarding pass or the airline app: two letters and 1–4 digits, like UA123. The digits alone work too.

2. 2.
   Enter it with your date

   Type it into the flight checker below with your travel date. No sign-up.

3. 3.
   Read the answer

   About 2 days before departure, United assigns the aircraft, and the answer comes from the Wi-Fi united.com lists for it. Earlier than that, you get a probability based on the aircraft that recently flew that flight number.

4. 4.
   Check again the day before

   Aircraft can change up to departure. The answer updates as assignments change.

• By tail number. The registration is on the fuselage and in most airline apps. Search it on the homepage.
• While shopping. The free Chrome extension marks Starlink flights on Google Flights.
• Before you book. The route planner ranks flights between two airports by their chance of Starlink.
• On united.com. Once an aircraft is assigned, the flight status page lists its Wi-Fi.

A verified yes means we saw the assigned aircraft's Wi-Fi ourselves. A probability means no aircraft is assigned yet, so it's based on the flight's recent history. Some United aircraft still have older Wi-Fi while the rollout continues, so having Wi-Fi isn't the same as having Starlink. Starlink Wi-Fi is free with MileagePlus.
