Alaska Airlines is finally rolling out Starlink Wi-Fi, which means way better internet in the sky! Instead of slow, clunky connections, you can expect speeds fast enough for streaming and video calls. They're starting with select aircraft, so keep an eye out if you're flying with them soon.
So, how do you know if you're on a Starlink-equipped plane? Unfortunately, there's no definitive way to check beforehand. But once onboard, you'll be able to connect and experience the faster speeds. Best of all, Alaska is offering this enhanced Wi-Fi service completely free!
Why should you care? Because reliable Wi-Fi can make all the difference on a long flight, whether you want to catch up on work, binge-watch your favorite shows, or simply stay connected with friends and family. This upgrade puts Alaska Airlines ahead of the curve in terms of in-flight connectivity, so it's a big win for passengers!
Why This Matters for Your Strategy
News in the points-and-miles world moves fast, and promotional changes often have a short window. If this announcement affects a card or program you hold, log into your awardtrail dashboard to check your current benefit usage, bonus progress, and whether a transfer or redemption makes sense right now — before terms change.
As a general rule: transfer points only when you have a specific redemption in mind — transfers are almost always one-way and non-reversible. If you're unsure of the value, check our redemption guides before acting.
