Customers can experience American Airlines programming with their personal headsets, or headsets can be purchased onboard for $2. Customers who buy headsets are encouraged to keep them and use them on future American Airlines flights.

American Airlines offers travelers approximately 350 to 400 feature films per year, selecting new movie titles on a monthly basis. American works with an in-flight entertainment programming group to select features that meet the ever-changing needs of customers. For example, flights to Shanghai feature some Mandarin/Chinese movies with English subtitles. During periods of the year when more families are traveling with children – holidays, summer and spring break for example – American traditionally offers more family-oriented titles.

Domestically American offers four different titles per month that cycle between Hawaii and the domestic U.S./Canadian routes.

American has collaborated with Samsung to bring customers even more entertainment options inflight.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 devices are now offered onboard American in premium class cabins on select flights, making American the first North American airline to offer a branded tablet inflight. Featuring over 70 movies, including 30 new releases, as well as variety of television programs and audio selections   the tablet is designed to suite the diverse preferences of American’s customers. Among a variety of genres, customers may enjoy comedy, sports or drama programs while inflight.

In addition, the tablets are complete with a customized user experience that allows customers to choose settings based on individual preferences, along with an intuitive design providing quick and easy access to their favorite programs throughout the flight.

Customers traveling on a Boeing 777 aircraft and Business Class customers traveling internationally on a Boeing 757 aircraft will be able to view programming on adjustable in-seat entertainment devices offering a wide selection of feature movies, music, games and television shows via audio and video on-demand.
