How to connect to united airlines wifi and what are the charges

I remember the first time I tried connecting to United Airlines’ Wi-Fi — it was on a flight from Chicago to Los Angeles, and I was determined to stay productive during the trip. I had my laptop out, thinking it would be complicated, but honestly, it was much easier than I expected. Once the plane reached cruising altitude, I switched my device to airplane mode and turned on Wi-Fi. From there, I connected to the network called “United_Wi-Fi.” As soon as I opened my browser, it automatically redirected me to United’s Wi-Fi portal page.


You don’t even need to log in to check flight status or watch free entertainment. But if you want full internet access, like browsing or checking email, that’s where the paid Wi-Fi options come in. When I flew, the charge was around $8 for a short domestic flight and a bit higher for longer ones. You can pay directly on the portal using a card or log in to your MileagePlus account if you’re a member, which sometimes gives discounts.


I also learned that you can purchase a Wi-Fi subscription if you travel often — it can save quite a bit over time. The connection itself was surprisingly stable; I was able to send emails, message coworkers, and even stream a little music without any issues.


Overall, it’s super simple: connect to “United_Wi-Fi,” open your browser, follow the on-screen steps, and you’re online in minutes. United’s in-flight Wi-Fi has become one of those little conveniences that makes long flights feel shorter — especially when plans or schedules change, and you need to stay connected midair.
