American Airlines now offers free in-flight entertainment
American Airlines passengers now can watch premium TV for free during their flights.
At the beginning of August, planes enabled with Wi-Fi began offering the entertainment on both seatback screens and streamed to passengers' personal devices, CNN Money reports.
According to American Airlines:
You can access all in-seat entertainment for free — no matter where you sit. American Spotlight offers you the largest library of complimentary inflight entertainment among U.S. carriers.
Options include:
More than 160 movies, including nearly 50 new releases
300 TV shows
More than 700 music selections
20 games
Passengers still need to pay for access if they intend to surf the internet, however.
