United Airlines Partners with Apple TV+ for Free In-Flight Entertainment

United Airlines has some exciting news for passengers looking to stay entertained during their flights. They’ve teamed up with Apple TV+ to offer free access to award-winning series on over 130,000 seatback screens and the United mobile app. This means you can catch popular shows like “Severance,” “Ted Lasso,” and “Silo” right from your seat, with more content being added every month. Sounds pretty cool, right?

This partnership is all part of United’s big “United Next” plan, where they’re planning to boost the number of screens to over 300,000 across their fleet. These new displays are top-notch, featuring 27-inch, 4K OLED Bluetooth-enabled screens. So, whether you’re flying domestic or international, you’ll have access to this awesome content, making your flight feel like a breeze.

And it doesn’t stop there. United Airlines has also been teaming up with Apple on other cool stuff. They rolled out live activities for iPhone users and introduced Apple’s Share Item Location feature for AirTag and other Find My-enabled accessories. It’s all about making your travel experience smoother and more connected.

But wait, there’s more! Delta Air Lines is also upping their in-flight entertainment game with a partnership with Crunchyroll. If you’re a fan of anime, get ready to enjoy a selection of titles on Delta’s over 169,000 seatback screens and Delta Sync WiFi platform for SkyMiles members.

For passengers, having access to Apple TV+ shows during their flight is like getting a free trial. This collaboration benefits both airlines and streaming services, giving passengers more content choices while keeping them comfy in the air. Just keep in mind that while you’ll get to enjoy some awesome shows, you won’t have access to the full Apple TV+ library – only selected shows and their first seasons are available.

United Airlines promises to keep things fresh by updating the Apple TV+ channel monthly with new titles and maybe even different genres down the line. With over 250 episodes, films, and specials expected to be part of the deal, you’ll have plenty of entertainment options at your fingertips during your flight. Enjoy the show!
