Each month, American Airlines brings brand new movies and television shows to the skies for customers to enjoy for free on its inflight entertainment. American works with its Employee Business Resource Groups — 20 groups made up of more than 26,000 American Airlines team members that represent different backgrounds, cultures and experiences — to highlight movies that celebrate diversity across its inflight entertainment.

All inflight entertainment onboard American flights is free, including the library of up to 600 movies and TV shows and a collection of more than 150 creative, productivity or language classes on American’s new Lifestyle inflight entertainment channel. Customers can stream on their phone, tablet, or laptop. Simply enable airplane mode and connect to the “AA-Inflight” signal. From there, the entertainment can be accessed from aainflight.com.
