Travellers between New York and the Mother City will soon be able to tune into their favourite podcasts at 35,000 feet - mahala, for free!
Spotify is jet-setting with United Airlines, thanks to a first-of-its-kind collab allowing travellers to binge podcasts, audiobooks, and curated playlists straight from their seatback screens, completely free.
Think Amy Poehler's Good Hang, your favourite true-crime deep dives, or that lo-fi playlist you never admit you love, now in full 4K with Bluetooth.
Spotify content will be available on more than 680 United aircraft and appear as a new content category "Spotify" - replacing "audio" under the home menu in the existing entertainment system. Your options will include 'Podcast', 'Video Podcasts', 'Audiobooks', and 'Playlists' channels.
And yes, Cape Town’s in on the action.
United flies direct to the Mother City thrice a week, making it even easier for global travellers to arrive tuned in and ready to explore. Whether you're flying out or welcoming travellers in, this is set to be top of the travel charts inflight entertainment.
