United Teams Up with Spotify to Offer Free Content
Spotify and United have teamed up to offer more entertainment options for the in-flight travel experience. More than 450 hours of Spotify-curated playlists, podcasts, and audiobooks can be enjoyed for free from over 130,000+ seatback screens, many of which offer 4K quality and Bluetooth audio compatibility.
This marks the first time Spotify has offered audiobooks and video podcasts onboard an airline, giving United flyers access to titles such as including Good Hang with Amy Poehler, The Dave Chang Show, and The Comment Section with Drew Afualo.
Additionally, on Starlink-equipped aircraft, travelers can stream Spotify content on their personal devices from gate to gate without interruption—free of charge. All they need to do is log in to their MileagePlus accounts and accept the terms and conditions for using Starlink. From there, travelers will be able to open their Spotify apps and stream content, just like they do at home.
To celebrate the launch, MileagePlus members who are new to Spotify Premium Individual can sign up for a subscription and earn up to 1,000 bonus miles. To see more and learn how to redeem the offer, visit spotify.com/ppt/united.
In 2026, United passengers will be able to use their personal devices to log in to the Spotify app on the in-flight entertainment screen. This will allow passengers to enjoy their favorite personalized content on the seatback so they can pick up their favorite podcasts, music, and audiobooks from right where they left off.
