Jayne O’Brien, JetBlue’s Head of Marketing and Customer Support, commented: “Competitors have tried time and again to replicate the JetBlue experience, but customers know that our exceptional onboard product, paired with the outstanding service of our crewmembers, is truly hard to match. Being recognized by The Points Guy—a trusted name in travel—reinforces our commitment to delivering great service at low fares and proves the experience we provide to customers searching for travel, including to Europe, surpasses other carriers. Moving forward, we’re excited to keep introducing new products and perks that our customers love.”

JetBlue’s economy class, Core, provides free Fly-Fi internet; seatback entertainment at each seat; brand-name drinks and snacks; and award-winning service. Not only that, but the airline keeps offering more, with Blue Basic customers now allowed a free carry-on bag, and Even More Space seats evolving into EvenMore, a comprehensive product with multiple amenities (additional info soon to be released).

This airline just installed Starlink on its first aircraft
United installs Starlink on its first regional aircraft
United Airlines Embraer E-175

United just installed Starlink on its first regional aircraft, beginning the process of outfitting its entire two-cabin fleet in 2025. Beginning in May and continuing throughout the year, the airline plans to equip 40+ aircraft each month, which takes about eight hours. That’s around 10 times quicker than installing non-Starlink equipment. United’s future plans call for equipping its entire fleet with Starlink.
Starlink brings high-speed Wi-Fi with an easier installation

Once installed, Starlink will provide passengers with the fastest available inflight Wi-Fi at no cost. It also offers simple installation, more fuel efficiency, and weatherproof connectivity. According to United, regional jet passengers will experience a 250 megabits per second (Mbps) connection, measuring 50 times faster than current regional aircraft rates. Starlink will be complimentary for MileagePlus members and brings with it shopping, gaming, streaming, and more. MileagePlus is free to join.
