*Note: Some United flights may now divert underground to give The Boring Company more tax breaks
12 0 ReplySo as a United flier(haven't flown for two months, though), I know that they provide the following free:
- a selection of locally hosted movies and TV shows
- RCS, iMessage
- Internet messaging services like meta messenger and snapchat(I can't speak on more niche messengers like Jami or any forms of XMPP
You have to pay extra(or sign in with t-mobile) to get in flight internet access.
I hope that this means that you'll get unrestricted internet access for free, instead of only a few apps and services.
