According to American Airlines, Still G.I.N. By Dre and Snoop is a smooth, clean, and light gin. Flavor notes include tangerine, coriander, and jasmine. The gin was launched in 2024, and its recipe is an ideal complement for any mixer. For bourbon enthusiasts, Horse Soldier is a handcrafted creation made in small batches and non-chill filtered, giving it a full body and decadent finish. American’s charcuterie boards — available in every lounge — provide a perfect pairing. A bartender at American recommends ordering an old fashioned made with Horse Soldier or a gin fizz made with Still G.I.N. By Dre and Snoop.

Following a public vote, JetBlue has selected a commemorative livery to celebrate Puerto Rico's cultural heritage and artistic offerings. Juan Gutierrez—also known as The Stencil Network—won the competition, and his design will adorn an Airbus A320. In late summer 2025, his artwork will take flight. JetBlue, Puerto Rico’s largest airline, created the competition in February. Gutierrez received the most votes among Puerto Rican artists, including Elizabeth Barreto and Natalia Nicole.
The Stencil Network’s design uses iconic Puerto Rican imagery

The Stencil Network is known for his expertise with stencil techniques, and his winning design uses iconic symbols of Puerto Rican identity. On the aircraft tail is a proud jíbaro figure, and elsewhere are flora and fruits of the island. On the plane's underside is the slogan “Yo Soy Boricua” (translation: “I am Puerto Rican”). Whether taking off or landing, the aircraft will be a symbol of Puerto Rican pride.

United Airlines Embraer E-175

United just installed Starlink on its first regional aircraft, beginning the process of outfitting its entire two-cabin fleet in 2025. Beginning in May and continuing throughout the year, the airline plans to equip 40+ aircraft each month, which takes about eight hours. That’s around 10 times quicker than installing non-Starlink equipment. United’s future plans call for equipping its entire fleet with Starlink.
Starlink brings high-speed Wi-Fi with an easier installation

Once installed, Starlink will provide passengers with the fastest available inflight Wi-Fi at no cost. It also offers simple installation, more fuel efficiency, and weatherproof connectivity. According to United, regional jet passengers will experience a 250 megabits per second (Mbps) connection, measuring 50 times faster than current regional aircraft rates. Starlink will be complimentary for MileagePlus members and brings with it shopping, gaming, streaming, and more. MileagePlus is free to join.
