My immediate understanding was that the parent poster was planning to watch the movies on his laptop or something similar. But, I don't fly very often; are in-flight movies a popular option? Genuinely curious.
- pkaye 7y ago> But, I don't fly very often; are in-flight movies a popular option? By the fact that I observe all the people sitting next to me on the plane watch in-flight movies, I'd say they are a popular option.
- cbhl 7y agoSome airlines offer complimentary in-flight movies on-demand on the in-flight entertainment system, even in economy.
- Symbiote 7y agoHaven't most airlines had this for a long time, for any flight over about 5 hours? Or, for any plane bigger than a 737 / A320. (Or is this just because in Europe... well, because those criteria mean a flight out of Europe.)
- jedberg 7y agoMost domestic US flights have the "bring your own device" option now, where you watch on your smartphone with their wifi. The long haul flights usually have screens.
- jedberg 7y agoSince OP said it was subsidized by the airlines, I assumed OP meant as an inflight movie.
- rolltiide 7y agoparent poster here: in-flight movies are a popular option. any entertainment I try to bring myself "just in case" really just ends up taking up space/weight and not being used last decade it felt like a luxury to bring my laptop/device for travel, this decade it is a burden if it happens at all.
