Spotify is making it easier to stream music, podcasts and audiobooks on United Airlines flights. As part of a new collaboration with the airline, the company says that seatback screens on United planes equipped with Starlink satellite internet will soon have full access to Spotify's library of content, along with your personalized home screen and playlists.
To access your library, Spotify says you have to connect your phone to United's inflight Wi-Fi and then scan the QR code on your seatback screen. You'll then be prompted to log in, or if you're already logged in to your Spotify app, the screen will automatically load your Spotify profile.
