United WiFi

That’s right. United has Wi-Fi on 100% of our mainline aircraft. You can now connect, watch your favorite programming or work onboard over 800 planes in our fleet. Our United Express regional jets are also getting the Wi-Fi upgrade as Gogo’s ATG-4 advanced air-to-ground Wi-Fi product is being installed on E170, E175 and CRJ700 aircraft, with over 95% of the regional jet fleet already Wi-Fi enabled.

Planned installations should be complete by October 2016.

Accessing United Wi-Fi onboard is easy. Simply choose United Wi-Fi from the menu of internet access points on your device and you will be led to the Wi-Fi portal. Additionally, you can access our onboard entertainment by downloading the mobile app prior to boarding. 

United Wi-Fi pricing will vary. On select flights, travelers can use MileagePlus miles to purchase Wi-Fi internet access. This feature is offered via our new portal, currently available on select aircraft and expanding to more aircraft throughout 2016. Have you always been curious how Wi-Fi works at 35,000 feet?
