if this is true, then they HAVE to have free Wifi onboard

If I'm going on an international flight, I would like to be able to see where we are. Otherwise, as long as I can charge my device I don't really care

Nah - I love watching new movies that aren’t included in Netflix, hbo subscriptions, etc. when I travel.

long haul especially should have screens, I get shorter US domestic flights don’t have screens but if it’s 6+ hours and we’re getting meal service there better be a screen

United tried it and went back to screens. Delta never removed their and they are the gold standard in the US.

Honestly fine with me , I’d rather have good WiFi than the screens which are half broken etc . Only issue is they won’t give us any discount for the weight and fuel they save cutting it all out

This is great. As they renovate cabins and remove screens on future seats they can add in tablet holders and close charging in each seat back. Other commenters were worried about tracking progrsss and time to landing, things you can still do via app/airline site by connecting to the free WiFi system.

The American carriers started doing this like a decade ago and are now reversing course and putting screens back in.

Why not just like a CarPlay like system for existing interiors that already have screens?

Yep. Can you imagine trying to get WiFi over the pacific?

its not good to have this from an Americans perspective, just because every non low cost american airline has a seat back screen on short haul too like United, delta, alaska, etc. European airlines try to offer the cheapest flights, but american airlines go for luxury, which is why im not surprised about this. It wont fully materialise in the end.

For an 8 hour flight the screen should always be there. What do you run out of change on your device or just don’t bring one?

I’m sorry but you can’t tell me that 300ish screens plus system (for which software already exists) carries significant costs

Good in-flight entertainment does not require a device provided by the airline.
