In-flight connectivity provider Gogo has launched Gogo Vision, bringing streaming video to American Airlines’ entire fleet of 15 Boeing 767-200 aircraft.
The service — a first in the U.S. — enables users to wirelessly stream TV shows and movies to their laptops over Wi-Fi during a flight, at a price of $.99 per TV show and $3.99 per movie. The Wi-Fi link itself is free.
Users will be able to choose titles by type (movie or TV), genre, length and other categories, as well as watch free trailers prior to purchasing the content. The purchased content will stay available after landing — movies for 24 hours, and TV shows for 72 hours — which can be great for those long airport waits.
Gogo Vision is primarily available on transcontinental flights between New York’s JFK and Los Angeles, as well as JFK and San Francisco.
