Alaska is installing Starlink faster than almost anyone, and it's free for everyone
onboard — no loyalty program, no tier, no purchase. The catch is the same as everywhere else: it's
aircraft by aircraft, so which jet you get decides your day. The regional fleet is already finished;
mainline is only just starting.
28
ConnectScore long shot
28% of the fleet equipped × 1.0 system quality (Starlink) × 1.00 free-for-you = 28 / 100
DATA CREDITEvery Alaska figure on this page
comes from alaskastarlinktracker.com,
the independent community tracker built by @martinamps, which verifies each tail against Alaska's own
site. All credit for the data goes to them — visit for live per-tail status, install dates, and much more ↗.
WiFi Odds is unofficial and not affiliated with Alaska Airlines, SpaceX/Starlink, or the tracker.
Where the rollout stands
as of 2026-07-24
A snapshot, not a live feed — the top-line numbers are baked from the shared
ConnectScore map at build time. For today's per-tail count, go to
alaskastarlinktracker.com.
99 / 350
Aircraft equipped
Mainline plus regional — about 28% of the combined fleet.
Complete
E175 regional fleet
Every Embraer E175 is fitted — a regional flight is close to a sure thing.
7 / 258
Mainline
The 737 fleet has barely begun. Most mainline flights are still legacy WiFi.
Equipped
Ex-Hawaiian widebodies
The A330s and A321neos from the Hawaiian merger already carry Starlink. Our
ConnectScore map still counts those tails under Hawaiian.

Starlink status
What that means when you book
E175 (regional)
Complete
Regional-jet routes are the best Starlink odds in the network.
737 (mainline)
7 of 258
Treat mainline as unlikely for now, and check the specific flight.
A330 / A321neo (ex-Hawaiian)
Equipped
Long-haul and Hawaii flying on these tails is already covered.
Aircraft assignments change until departure, so any of this can flip on the day.
ConnectScore is the chance of getting the good system — legacy satellite WiFi on the
not-yet-converted part of the fleet is not credited. There is no public per-tail install-date feed for
Alaska yet, so there is no rollout timeline on this page: we would rather show nothing than invent a curve.
Per-flight odds while you book
Alaska support lives in the extension
There's no route optimizer for Alaska on this site yet. What exists today is better placed
anyway — inside the booking flow. Install WiFi Odds for Flights and enable the optional
alaskaair.com permission, and you get:
Odds badges on Alaska search results, per flight, colour-coded the same as United
The Alaska ConnectScore and fleet split in the popup, wherever you are
Nothing sent anywhere but a flight number and a date — no accounts, no analytics, no tracking
alaskaair.com access is optional and off until you turn it on,
so the install prompt stays small. Alaska badges appear once you grant it.
Alaska WiFi questions
Does Alaska have Starlink WiFi?
Yes, on 99 of 350
aircraft (28%) — the whole E175 regional fleet plus the
ex-Hawaiian widebodies, with the mainline 737s only just starting.
Is Alaska's WiFi free?
Where Starlink is installed it is free for everyone onboard —
no loyalty program, no tier, no purchase. That is why Alaska's free-for-you factor is the maximum 1.00.
