[Kilobat reads your dish](https://kilobat.app/starlink): obstructions, outages and stutter. **What is eating your bandwidth?** Live traffic for every app, right in your menu bar. Catch the backup choking your call. **Hotspot data gone in an hour?** Essentials blocks the apps you haven’t allowed, and updaters wait until you’re off the hotspot. The apps keep working. ## Questions **Which airlines have Starlink Wi-Fi?** Hawaiian Airlines, United Airlines, Alaska Airlines, Southwest Airlines, WestJet, Emirates, Qatar Airways, British Airways, Virgin Atlantic, Aer Lingus, Air France, Iberia, SAS Scandinavian Airlines, Lufthansa, Swiss International Air Lines, Korean Air fly it with passengers. American Airlines and KLM have announced it. Most are still fitting their fleets, so not every flight has it. **Is Starlink Wi-Fi on planes free?** On every airline here that flies it, yes, for some or all passengers. Emirates, Aer Lingus, Iberia, Korean Air make it free for everyone. The others want a free loyalty login, such as MileagePlus on United. **How do I know if my flight has Starlink?** Check the airline’s app or flight details before you fly. United and Alaska publish rollout trackers, and Korean Air lets you check a flight before booking. Hawaiian marks equipped aircraft with a Starlink decal by the door. Aircraft can change on the day. **Is Starlink faster than Viasat or SES?** Each quotes its own figures. SpaceX’s United case study says up to 250 Mbps. Alaska Airlines says up to 500 Mbps; British Airways cites 500+ Mbps from Ookla data. SpaceX’s United case study gives 44 ms. Alaska Airlines says under 99 ms. Viasat publishes no per-aircraft speed; SES says up to 275 Mbps with its multi-orbit antenna. **Can I use a VPN or make video calls on Starlink Wi-Fi?** That’s the airline’s rule, not Starlink’s. British Airways recommends a VPN on Starlink, and Emirates and British Airways allow video calls on it; Lufthansa, SWISS and SAS say no calls. Each airline guide has its rule. **Why won’t the Starlink sign-in page open on my Mac?** The airline runs the sign-in page, and a VPN, iCloud Private Relay or your own DNS can hide it. Turn them off, open `http://captive.apple.com` in Safari, then turn the VPN back on. Kilobat shows **Open sign-in page** when a network is waiting for you. ## Related [**The state of airline Wi-Fi, 2026**Free tiers, prices, VPN rules and providers for 36 airlines](https://kilobat.app/airline-wifi-report) [**How Starlink Wi-Fi works on planes**Speeds, latency and sign-in](https://kilobat.app/in-flight-wifi/starlink-aviation) [**Starlink at home on a Mac**Obstructions, outages and frozen calls](https://kilobat.app/starlink) [**Every airline’s Wi-Fi**How to connect, what’s free, what it costs](https://kilobat.app/in-flight-wifi) ## Ready for Starlink, or whatever your plane has.
