This is the airline with the worst in-flight wi-fi
These days, it’s pretty easy to find wi-fi almost anywhere, from coffee shops to grocery stores. But what about wi-fi access when we’re flying across the country? Some airlines are more reliable than others. And the airline with the worst in-flight wi-fi? United. So you may want to keep that in mind when you book your holiday travel or your next flight.

After all, holiday travel can be stressful enough without throwing a bad internet connection into the mix.

Maybe you want to catch up on personal emails or have a Netflix marathon. Whatever the case may be, you don’t want to worry about spotty wi-fi.
To gather the data, HighSpeedInternet.com scoured the internet, called in-flight wi-fi providers, and tweeted airlines.
