Additionally, the company will begin providing personal device entertainment on regional jets this year, offering customers movies and television shows to view on Wi-Fi-enabled iOS and Android devices using United’s mobile app, as well as on laptop computers.
“Expanding in-flight connectivity and personal device programming aligns the customer experience on our regional jets with our mainline aircraft and will enable many more of our customers to enjoy Internet access and streaming entertainment on their personal devices when traveling with us,” said Tom O’Toole, United’s senior vice president of marketing and loyalty, and president of MileagePlus.
