Delta Air Lines will make all of its in-flight entertainment available to all passengers free of charge.
Starting July 1, all movies, TV shows and music available from the carrier’s “Delta Studio” offerings will be complimentary on all of Delta’s two-class planes. Delta says those aircraft account for about 90% of the planes that fly under the Delta brand.
Delta’s programming lineup varies by aircraft, though Delta Studio pulls from a collection of 300 movies, 750 TV shows, 2,400 songs, 18 channels of live TV and a variety of games. On planes that do not have in-flight entertainment screens, customers have the option of streaming the content to their personal devices.
Delta claims it will be the only U.S. carrier to make its entire in-flight entertainment available at no cost to all passengers.
“The only thing better than operating the world’s largest in-flight entertainment-equipped fleet is providing it free to all our guests,” Tim Mapes, Delta’s chief marketing office, says in a statement. “Our commitment is to provide Delta customers with the industry’s best on-board services – period.”
