The most notable is that it only works with Apple smartphones and tablets running iOS 6 and above for the time being. Eventually the aircraft will swap in fresh movies and episodes every month so frequent fliers don’t run out of things to watch. United has chosen a combination of new and classic content, including popular TV shows “Downton Abbey” and Netflix’s “House of Cards” to start. Passengers with compatible devices will be able to stream directly from a server on the plane, so there’s no need to pay for in-flight WIFi service, and the airline won’t have to worry about an entire airplane of people gobbling up bandwidth while binge-watching. United will preload 150 movies and 200 TV shows onto an on-board system. The airline announced the new entertainment system in February and will roll it out on U.S. Tired of hokey in-flight movies or spotty DirecTV connections? United Airlines is adding an option for watching TV during flights that lets passengers stream content directly to their laptop, iPhone, iPad or iPod touch for free.
