Apple:
Starting Friday, Apple Music subscribers can enjoy their access to over 50 million songs, playlists and music videos on any domestic American Airlines flight equipped with Viasat satellite Wi-Fi with no Wi-Fi purchase required. American Airlines is the first commercial airline to provide exclusive access to Apple Music through complimentary inflight Wi-Fi.
The way I read this, the experience will be the same as using Apple Music on the ground. Not a limited version of Apple Music, but straight-up Apple Music without having to buy the plane’s Wi-Fi package.
I love this idea, hope other airlines follow suit.
All it means is that they get free wifi to use Apple Music. It’s not about getting a full or limited version of Apple Music. You still need to be a subscriber, or sign up for a trial.
On our last flight, having seen all the in-flight video Virgin Atlantic made available that I cared about, I prowled their available music library. It was pretty darned good, and contained good stuff I didn’t own.
