You won't have to pay for Wi-Fi any longer. Well I don’t anyway. Especially on United. More and more I find myself swayed by internet for free on flights. It is a great hassle when flying for work and one has to fly but still needs to finish the urgent report. And there is no connectivity. Thank you Finnair for your inflight connectivity. That connectivity can be iffy at times. ( once had to request a refund when forking out cash for the service so it can be a huge hang up when it malfunctions )


In September 2024, United Airlines announced that it was partnering with Starlink to bring free Wi-Fi to all of its planes, with testing starting in 2025. But only six days into the new year, the airline released an update: The first Starlink-equipped commercial flight will take off this spring on a regional jet — well ahead of schedule.

Qantas only has domestic sectors covered and only WiFi enabled flights that fly internationally will work in Australian “airspace". After that it stops. Bring on WiFi cannot wait for proper Qantas inflight and International internet. 200 United Airlines Planes Will Have Free Internet by the End of 2025 — Matador Network
