Spotify just took its streaming game sky-high. Starting this week, United Airlines passengers will have access to over 450 hours of curated Spotify content\u2014including playlists, audiobooks, and for the first time ever, video podcasts\u2014right from their seatback screens, according to CNBC<\/span><\/a>. This marks Spotify\u2019s first-ever partnership with an airline. Available titles include fan-favorite shows like \u201cGood Hang with Amy Poehler,\u201d \u201cThe Dave Chang Show,\u201d and \u201cThe Comment Section with Drew Afualo,\u201d per The Verge<\/span><\/a> reports.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThe collaboration brings the Spotify experience fans know and love to the skies, so passengers can stream their favorite playlists, podcasts, and audiobooks on United flights,\u201d the streaming giant said in a statement.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The integration spans more than 130,000 seatback screens across United\u2019s fleet. You won\u2019t even need a Spotify account to access the content\u2014just tap and go.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cSpotify 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,\u201d Richard Nunn, CEO of MileagePlus, said in a statement. \u201cTogether, we\u2019re giving millions of customers an entirely new way to experience and explore premium content from the world\u2019s most popular artists, authors and podcasters \u2013all while flying with the latest technology in the sky.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The new partnership replaces the generic \u201cAudio\u201d tab on United\u2019s inflight entertainment menu with a dedicated \u201cSpotify\u201d category<\/a>. The update is part of United\u2019s broader push to modernize its onboard tech\u2014including offering free high-speed Wi-Fi, powered by SpaceX\u2019s Starlink, which launched last year.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re a MileagePlus member, you can already stream Spotify (along with Apple Music and YouTube) for free on your phone mid-flight. But by 2026, passengers will also be able to use their phones to control the seatback Spotify app directly\u2014no more awkward remote controls or digging for your tablet.<\/p>\n

Streaming isn\u2019t limited to cruising altitude either. Whether you\u2019re taxiing to the runway or waiting at the gate, you\u2019ll be able to kick back and queue up your favorite playlists without even reaching into your bag.<\/p>\n

This move comes as airlines race to upgrade digital experiences for a new generation of flyers\u2014especially those who expect their entertainment to be as seamless at 35,000 feet as it is on the ground.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
