American Airlines makes all in-flight entertainment free to all

Saturday, 10 Aug, 2016 0

American Airlines is now offering full, unrestricted access to in-flight entertainment in the main cabin.

Customers will be able to view premium movies, TV shows, music and games on their own devices or seatback entertainment systems.

Customers using their own devices can access this free, premium entertainment via the the American Airlines mobile app.

Previously American only offered a limited entertainment selection in economy.

"American is further investing in and personalizing how our customers travel by giving them the most in-flight entertainment options onboard our aircraft," said Fernand Fernandez, American’s vice president – global marketing.

"Our employees do an outstanding job taking care of our customers and combined with a fleet of aircraft that is the youngest of the U.S. carriers and onboard products like complimentary premium entertainment and snacks, American is creating an unmatched travel experience."

The airline says availability of titles will vary by aircraft.

There are nearly 300 American jets fitted with seatback entertainment systems while all American domestic mainline aircraft and two-class regional jets offer in-flight Wi-Fi.

It follows a similar announcement by Delta Air Lines in June to make its entire entertainment library free for all passengers.
