United Airlines has announced that it will begin streaming free in-flight movies and TV to iOS devices starting in April.
With this new service, sponsored by the MileagePlus Explorer Card, you can choose from over 150 movies and nearly 200 TV shows and watch them free of charge on your personal device.
Most planes will be equipped with the new system very soon, and we’ll have it installed on most domestic aircraft by the end of 2014. We’ll begin on Airbus A319, Airbus A320, Boeing 747-400 and select 777-200 aircraft, followed by additional fleets. In the end, all United-operated flights will have some form of entertainment.
United Airlines notes that once you’re onboard, you’ll see two types of media. Some programs require a browser plug-in on your laptop or the latest United App on your Apple iOS which can be downloaded without purchase of United Wi-Fi. Other programs can be watched through the United Portal on your browser with no plug-in or app required.
You can download United Airlines from the App Store for free.
