However, I would not, repeat NOT, count on UA wifi for anything mission critical.
I don't understand why, if it is satellite wifi, it only starts after 10k feet. This seems to be a UA limitation not a physical system limitation. Other airlines have gate-to-gate satellite wifi, does anyone know why UAs is not?
