What is the problem with using the browser on the MacBook to access content ?
- lancesells 3y agoMaybe it needs a connection and not all flights have that?
- ryukafalz 3y agoEven if you do have a connection, it's typically expensive and bandwidth limited. Having whatever you want to watch already locally on your device just makes more sense.
- bgoldste 3y agoSome of the apps allow you to download the content, while the browser version doesn’t. In case you don’t have to wifi on the flight.
- drewg123 3y agoMany flights do not have reliable internet access that is fast enough to stream video. And I want to watch what I want to watch, not the random selection of stuff I might find on the inflight entertainment. Not to mention that I want to zone out, and not hear a captive airline credit card sales pitch from the flight attendants at 90db in my headphones while they pause the video I'm watching. So, for all those reasons, I'd prefer to download content prior to the flight and watch it in-flight.
