United partners with Spotify for streaming audio on seatback screens

Attention, music lovers and travelers! Exciting news from United Airlines and Spotify – they’ve teamed up to bring you a new way to enjoy your favorite tunes and content while flying. Starting this week, United Airlines passengers can listen to curated Spotify playlists, audiobooks, and video podcasts right from their seatback screens. It’s a game-changer as Spotify has never offered these features on an airplane platform before.

In a recent press release, Richard Nunn, CEO of MileagePlus, shared his enthusiasm for the partnership: “Spotify has a huge audience and people love their content. And now, our customers can enjoy it all in a simple and easy way, at 35,000 feet. Together, we’re giving millions of customers an entirely new way to experience and explore premium content from the world’s most popular artists, authors, and podcasters – all while flying with the latest technology in the sky.”

But the excitement doesn’t end there! United Airlines plans to take it up a notch next year by allowing passengers to use their personal devices to log into the Spotify app on the inflight entertainment screen. Spotify itself is thrilled about the collaboration, stating that United was the perfect partner to bring their content to passengers.

So get ready to enjoy your favorite playlists, podcasts, and audiobooks on United flights. It’s a whole new way to experience music and entertainment while traveling. This move comes on the heels of record customer satisfaction scores for United’s inflight entertainment, demonstrating their commitment to enhancing the passenger experience. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride with some great tunes thanks to United Airlines and Spotify!
