Starting July 1, all movies, TV shows and music available from the carrier’s “Delta Studio” offerings will be complimentary on all of Delta’s two-class planes. Delta says those aircraft account for about 90% of the planes that fly under the Delta brand.

Shhh, the movie is about to begin. JetBlue Features delivers new released movies to your seat on all flights longer than two hours. Every month, we offer six channels of programming in English, one of which is available in Spanish, on all flights to/from destinations in Latin America and the Caribbean. Movies are $5.00 each, except on flights operating outside the continental USA where they are free. Sit back and enjoy the show!

Isn't that the only way people consume entertainment on a plane these days?

jetBlue has free internet?

 

[RedBaron2000]

All I know is I avoid United like the plague for international if it's on a 747. It's like stepping into 1985 in economy.

Fastest out there too. Can stream live tv or Netflix,(or so I've heard). Going to a faster system/next generation in a year or so to receive it anywhere where fly.

Yeah but the internet is where it's at. I'd much rather be connected to JC than watching a movie.

I'm not sure how our gen2 IFE will work but I think it's more similar to the on-demand style seen everywhere else. Currently it's just a channel flipper with satellite tv but no program listings.

I've yet to see the sticker. Then again I avoid the chief pilots office like the plague.

Now what it really comes down to, is any airline without a Texas base isn't a real airline.
