42 0 ReplyProbably throttled for free and paid if you want the speed to stream video. Still though, I'd take that. Would be great for just checking messages and emails and stuff.
15 0 ReplyNo such thing as free. It's in the price of your ticket. And indeed the upsell potential is enormous.

So 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.

*Note: Some United flights may now divert underground to give The Boring Company more tax breaks
