United Airlines to commence 3 new routes:
• Newark (EWR) to St. Croix (STX) 1 weekly from October 31
• Washington Dulles (IAD) to San Jose del Cabo (SJD) 4 weekly from October 25
• Washington Dulles (IAD) to Orange County (SNA) 7 weekly from August 11
I tested Delta’s non-Starlink WiFi in the air against Starlink on another airline.
Delta:
• ~25 Mbps
• Frequent downtime
• Random disconnections
• Slow and inconsistent performance
• Terrible login / user interface
• Felt outdated from start to finish
Starlink:
• ~160 Mbps
• Zero downtime
• No disconnections
• Worked everywhere throughout the journey
• One-click, smooth, user-friendly experience
This is what happens when an airline chooses not to use the best technology available.
Delta isn’t hurting Starlink.
Delta is hurting Delta passengers.
This is a big deal. SpaceX has now gotten three of the top four largest U.S. airlines - United, Southwest, and American - to adopt @Starlink. That’s over 2,300 commercial airplanes.
Only Delta remains.
