Beginning Aug. 1, American now offers free inflight streaming of Apple TV+ shows, an airline spokesperson confirmed with TPG.

This new streaming option is available to every flyer with a Wi-Fi capable device on flights that feature internet access. However, you don’t need to pay for internet in order to stream — you’ll just need the AA app on your phone or tablet or visit aainflight.com on your laptop.

If and when you ever fly again, be sure to download the AA app (or whatever airline you’re traveling on) to your device before you leave. That way you won’t have to pay for internet just to download the app.

If your flight is equipped with seat-back entertainment, you’ll find a selection of Apple Originals preloaded on the screen.

The deal is exclusive to American, and builds on their existing Apple Music streaming deal.

Smart for American, smart for Apple. On Apple’s side, it builds the Apple TV+ brand, builds the exposure and audience for the various shows.
