This route is predominantly operated by E75L aircraft. The score reflects United Airlines's confirmed Starlink rollout status for the E75L fleet specifically, not the airline's fleet-wide average.
This is a moderate-probability route. United Airlines is actively rolling out Starlink — 42% of the fleet is equipped so far — but not every aircraft operating this route is confirmed yet, so coverage on any given departure is not guaranteed.

The prediction for UA2242 is based on the aircraft actually observed or claimed to operate this route, not a generic fleet-wide guess. Based on the airline's published installation figures for the aircraft types observed on this flight: B738 16 flights at 72% equipped; B739 2 flights at 63% equipped. Weighted by observed flights, the expected share of equipped aircraft is 71%. A confirmed, dated passenger sighting for this specific flight can override this when one exists.
No prediction can guarantee a specific aircraft. Airlines perform last-minute equipment swaps for maintenance, operational needs, or schedule changes — meaning a Starlink-equipped tail can be replaced by a non-equipped one on the day. A score of 80% or above means historical data strongly favours Starlink on this flight, but it is not a guarantee. For the most reliable information, check the airline's gate display or app on the day of departure.
