Every route on StarlinkFlights has a likelihood rating showing how likely your specific flight is to have Starlink WiFi. This isn't a guess — it's calculated from multiple real data sources updated continuously.
Our engine combines confirmed aircraft tail numbers from regulatory filings, real-time flight observations showing which specific aircraft flew each route, community sightings from passengers who reported Starlink onboard, and airline rollout announcements.
Very likely
Multiple confirmed Starlink aircraft observed on this specific route recently.
Likely
Strong fleet coverage with route observation data supporting it.
Possible
Airline has Starlink but limited specific route data available.
Very unlikely
Airline has minimal Starlink deployment or no observations on this route.
Unknown
We don't have enough evidence to rate this route yet. That is not the same as confirming there is no Starlink.
Use our flight number search above to check instantly. We track 1,000+ confirmed Starlink-equipped aircraft across 200+ airlines with real-time likelihood ratings updated continuously for every route.
Qatar Airways offers free Starlink on 149 of its 241 aircraft, concentrated on its Boeing 777 and A350 widebodies. In the US, United Airlines leads with 665 aircraft equipped, followed by Alaska Airlines with 137 aircraft.
Many airlines offer Starlink WiFi completely free to all passengers including Qatar Airways, JSX, and airBaltic. Alaska Airlines offers free Starlink on former Hawaiian routes (A330 and A321neo aircraft). United Airlines includes it free for MileagePlus members and premium cabin passengers on equipped flights.
Our scores combine confirmed aircraft tail numbers from FCC regulatory filings, real-time flight observations, and passenger community sightings. Routes with multiple confirmed observations carry Very Likely ratings with high confidence. Scores update continuously as new data arrives.
Traditional inflight WiFi uses geostationary satellites with high latency (600ms+) and limited bandwidth of 5–20Mbps shared across all passengers. Starlink uses low-earth orbit satellites at 550km altitude delivering 100–350Mbps per aircraft with latency under 40ms — fast enough for Netflix, Zoom calls, and online gaming at 35,000 feet.
Yes — Southwest Airlines has announced a full Starlink rollout across their 817-aircraft fleet beginning summer 2026, making it one of the largest Starlink aviation deployments in history. Check our Southwest Airlines page for the latest rollout status. View Southwest Airlines page →
Yes — Starlink delivers speeds of 100–350Mbps per aircraft with latency under 40ms, making HD and even 4K streaming possible. Multiple passengers can stream simultaneously without buffering, a significant improvement over traditional inflight WiFi.
Yes — Starlink's low latency (under 40ms) makes video calls smooth and reliable for the first time in commercial aviation. Most Starlink airlines permit video calling though some may have policies against it — check your airline's WiFi terms.
