This article explains how to stream Spotify music songs on Airplane Mode with or without Premium.
Airplane Mode is an important addition to most modern smartphones to prevent any interference with airplane radios or other aircraft communication systems, ensuring a safe flight. However, using Airplane Mode may also disable your data network, so you should turn to other alternative options to keep playing Spotify tracks during the flight.
The most direct way is to use Spotify offline mode (available for Premium members only), you can download songs and albums before taking off, and then listen upon entering airplane mode without disrupting the correct operations of the plane.
Another workaround is to extract MP3s from Spotify Free or Premium account - with a Spotify playlist downloader, you could download your entire Spotify playlists as local MP3 files and play them on any device without internet connection.
When turning on Airplane Mode on your phone, make sure to turn on the offline mode on Spotify, so that your music songs could still play even when you're disconnected from internet.
Step 1 Before the flight, open the Spotify mobile app and log into your Spotify Premium account. Then download whatever Spotify content you want to listen to offline.
Step 2 Click your profile picture at the top left corner, and "Setting > Playback". Then you'll see the "Offline" option, just toggle it on.
Note: This method applies only to Spotify paid users. If you wanna stream Spotify songs on Airplane Mode without Premium, you'll have to refer to the method below.
Flight Mode is an invaluable tool when in flight, but its disadvantages are apparent though, unable to use internet connection is the most defect. If you're an avid listener looking to fill the time spent in an airplane with Spotify soundtracks but didn't pay for the offline mode, you can still work it out.

Download, install and open the NoteBurner Spotify Music Converter. Then it's suggested to choose to download songs from "Spotify App".

Go to the Spotify app, choose a playlist you like, then copy and paste the playlist link to NoteBurner. When the songs are listed on NoteBurner, you can tick the one you want to play on plane and then tap "Add".
