Frontier is ending one of its most unpopular onboard policies

Key Points:

• Frontier Airlines will begin offering high-speed Wi-Fi via SpaceX's Starlink starting early next year, claiming it will be "the fastest Wi-Fi in the sky" and the first U.S. airline to use Starlink through a system managed directly by the satellite network.
• The new connectivity will provide gate-to-gate internet access for both passengers and Frontier's operational teams, aiming to improve customer experience and operational performance.
• Despite this upgrade, Frontier maintains its commitment to low fares by evolving travel experiences, recently adding First Class seating and expanded loyalty perks.
• Frontier's global partners, including Cebu Pacific, JetSMART, Volaris, and Wizz Air, will also adopt Starlink's Wi-Fi service.
• Many major U.S. airlines already offer free or loyalty program-based complimentary Wi-Fi, such as Alaska, American, Delta, JetBlue, and Southwest, with varying coverage and provider partnerships.
