Amazon Prime video streaming now available on JetBlue

JetBlue fliers will be able to watch movies and TV shows through Amazon Video streaming as they head home for the holidays.
The video streaming service is available on more than 150 Fly-Fi enabled planes in the fleet from this week for Amazon Prime subscribers.
JetBlue announced the partnership with Amazon back in May this year.
For Prime members there is no additional fee and new users can sign up for a 30-day free trial onboard.
JetBlue passengers can also rent or buy titles in the Amazon Video store during the flight.
"Offering streaming movies and shows from Amazon Video over free Fly-Fi changes the game in in-flight entertainment, much like our seatback televisions did 15 years ago," said Jamie Perry, vice president of brand and product development for JetBlue.
"And we’re not stopping at video; our relationship with Amazon offers opportunities to delight our customers in ways that have never been done before."
Fly-Fi is enabled on about three-quarters of the JetBlue fleet so far and will roll it out on its Embraer E190 aircraft during 2016.
"We’re excited to bring our unlimited on-demand entertainment to JetBlue and offer it over a fast and free internet, just in time for the busiest travel season of the year," said Michael Paull, vice president of digital video at Amazon.
