Hi all,

I took two flights over the weekend on United, with Starlink. 200+ Mbps from gate to gate. Quite impressive.

On our second flight, while still standing in the terminal, I was able to log on to the aircraft's Starlink WiFi. That's pretty good WiFi range! A mere 30 Mbps on that connection though, with some packet loss.
