Details

AIRLINE: United Airlines
AIRCRAFT: Boeing 737 MAX 8
STARLINK: Starlink or Viasat (high-speed satellite internet)

United Airlines operates flight UA1796. For December 11, 2025, flight UA1796 is scheduled to be operated by a Boeing 737 MAX 8 (B38M) aircraft.

United Airlines is actively rolling out Starlink high-speed, low-latency Wi-Fi across its fleet, with installation on mainline aircraft, including Boeing 737 variants, beginning after October 15, 2025, and continuing in quick succession. Starlink offers speeds of up to 250 megabits per second (Mbps) and will be free for MileagePlus members.

Alternatively, many Boeing 737 MAX aircraft on United are equipped with Viasat, which has been upgraded to offer gate-to-gate Wi-Fi connectivity. This expanded Viasat service, including for the 737-800, was expected to be in place by the end of the first quarter of 2025.

Therefore, it is highly probable that flight UA1796 today, on a Boeing 737 MAX 8, will have access to high-speed satellite internet provided by either Starlink or an upgraded Viasat system. While streaming services may be generally limited on some standard Wi-Fi systems, Starlink explicitly supports streaming, gaming, and VPN access.
