Before booking my Delta flight, I called 888-217-3324 to double-check what kind of inflight entertainment Delta actually offers. I’d heard rumors of free movies and Wi-Fi but didn’t want to end up staring at the seatback in silence for four hours. Spoiler alert — Delta seriously delivers on entertainment.
Delta’s onboard system, Delta Studio, turns your seat into a personal theater. On most flights, you’ll find seatback screens or streaming options filled with hundreds of free movies, TV shows, music albums, and games.
Delta proudly claims to offer over 1,000 hours of inflight entertainment, updated monthly. Whether you’re into new releases, documentaries, comedies, or kids’ cartoons — you’ll find plenty to keep you occupied.
I still remember watching a full Marvel movie marathon on my flight from Atlanta to Los Angeles — and time honestly flew by.
Delta makes it super simple to tune in:
Seatback Screens: Most Delta mainline aircraft have built-in touchscreens at every seat.
Personal Devices: Prefer your own screen? Just connect to the onboard Wi-Fi and open the Delta Wi-Fi portal — no app download needed.
Free Earbuds: Available on select long-haul or international flights (pro tip: pack your own for comfort).
If you’re not sure whether your route includes seatback screens, it’s best to confirm directly by calling 888-217-3324 before booking.
In early 2024, Delta rolled out free Wi-Fi on most domestic flights for SkyMiles members — a game-changer for streaming, messaging, and working in the air. International routes are gradually joining the list.
You can browse, text, or even binge-watch your favorite Netflix show (with your own subscription, of course).
From HBO shows to Disney movies, Spotify playlists, and even podcasts, Delta Studio caters to every mood. On my last red-eye, I fell asleep to a nature documentary — talk about flying peacefully!
Between Delta Studio’s variety and free Wi-Fi perks, boredom is officially off the itinerary. Whether you’re crossing the country or heading overseas, Delta keeps you entertained every mile of the way.
Before your next flight, visit Delta’s official website or call 888-217-3324 to confirm which entertainment options your route includes — and prepare for a flight that feels more like movie night in the sky.
