Free TV Shows Take Off on United Airlines
United Airlines has teamed up with Apple to bring free TV shows to passengers. Now, travelers can enjoy select Apple TV+ series on seatback screens and the United app.
Initial Lineup and Expansion Plans
The initial lineup includes popular shows like:
- Severance
- Ted Lasso
- Silo
More content will be added monthly. This move aims to enhance the in-flight experience while promoting Apple TV+.
United is expanding its entertainment options by installing more seatback screens. The airline plans to have 300,000 screens across its fleet. This update is part of a broader trend in the airline industry to offer better in-flight entertainment.
Benefits for Both United and Apple
The partnership benefits both United and Apple. Passengers get free entertainment, while Apple TV+ gains more viewers. However, only the first seasons of shows are available for free. This might encourage viewers to subscribe to Apple TV+ to continue watching their favorite series.
