## Key points

- Spotify is coming to Starlink-equipped United seatback screens.
- Passengers can access their account by scanning a QR code.
- Spotify Wi-Fi access is free, and nearly half of departures have Starlink.

## Summary

Spotify will soon be available through seatback screens on United aircraft equipped with Starlink internet, giving passengers access to music, podcasts, audiobooks and their personalised Spotify accounts. The collaboration lets travellers use the larger screen for video podcasts and music videos, and may spare them from downloading audio before flying.

Passengers will need to connect a phone to United’s inflight Wi-Fi and scan a QR code on the seatback screen to log in; Spotify access over the Wi-Fi is free. United says nearly half of its daily departures now offer Starlink, which it began testing in early 2025. Other airlines already offer some music streaming, but Spotify says its full library and users’ home screens and playlists will be available through this integration.
