Complimentary earbuds are available on select flights
We recommend bringing your own headphones for your flight, but if you forget them, you can enjoy our inflight entertainment with complimentary earbuds, available by request on select flights.
Can your screen be seen?
Most films have been edited for airline use. However, customer discretion is still advised. Customers are also welcome to view their own content as long as they are able to show that the programming has an MPAA rating of “R” or less. Please be mindful of those around you and try to make sure that any children seated near you aren’t able to see scenes with violence or adult themes.
Personal device entertainment
United offers more free entertainment streamed to your own personal device than any other airline in the world. Learn about our personal device entertainment and make sure your mobile device is ready before boarding.
DIRECTV
DIRECTV® is now available free of charge on select flights. The DIRECTV programming provides access to more than 100 TV channels and new movie releases, so you can catch up on your favorite shows or see the latest films. DIRECTV service is not available on flights outside the continental U.S.
