United Airlines and Spotify have initiated a unique collaboration allowing passengers to access Spotify podcasts, audiobooks, and playlists on over 680 aircraft.
This partnership marks the first time Spotify’s audiobooks and video podcasts are available aboard an airline, featuring content such as Good Hang with Amy Poehler and The Dave Chang Show.
From next year, customers will have the option to log into the Spotify app on the seatback screen, providing personalised content access during flights.
The inflight entertainment menu will be updated to feature a dedicated ‘Spotify’ channel for easy navigation of available content, enhancing the overall travel experience.
CEO of MileagePlus Richard Nunn shared that new customers signing up for Spotify Premium will receive 1,000 bonus MileagePlus miles as part of this 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.”
