United Airlines now offering free in-flight streaming over WiFi

Share

Remember when American Airlines said it’d offer TV and movie streaming? Not to be outdone, United has joined the pack, offering a similar service to its laptop and iOS device-using passengers. Those who travel on a United Airlines WiFi-enabled flight will have a choice of around 150 movies and 200 TV shows, although there’s no word on what sort of stuff you can expect to see. You can find out if you’re on a suitably-equipped plane 48 hours before take-off, as details of the streaming will be available on the amenities section of United’s website. Call us old cynics, but we’d wager that offering free in-flight streaming where users bring their own hardware is probably a little bit cheaper than installing screens in every seat.
