Delta’s in-flight entertainment system, called [Delta Studio](http://www.delta.com/content/www/en%5FUS/traveling-with-us/onboard-experience/delta-studio.html "undefined"), includes hundreds of movies and TV shows and thousands of songs, the airline says. About 400 of its aircraft have seat-back screens, while others offer passengers the option of streaming media directly to their smartphones, tablets or laptops. The airline claims it’s now the only U.S. airline to offer all of its in-flight entertainment options free of charge. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4356570/delta-free-movies/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4356570/delta-free-movies/"},"headline":"Delta Just Did Something Passengers Will Love","datePublished":"2016-06-03T15:47:33.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T22:22:35.623Z","description":"Movies and TV shows will be free","url":"https://time.com/4356570/delta-free-movies/","keywords":["Aviation","Travel"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt3f09b17e4ce6a384/69889640196cf402ea03bdf0/gettyimages-501317962.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Alex Fitzpatrick","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/alex-fitzpatrick/"}],"articleSection":"Business","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt3f09b17e4ce6a384/69889640196cf402ea03bdf0/gettyimages-501317962.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Utah Scenics","caption":"Utah Scenics","creditText":"Robert Alexander—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/business/","name":"Business"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/aviation/","name":"Aviation"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4356570/delta-free-movies/","name":"Delta Just Did Something Passengers Will Love"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Average U.S. Airline Ticket Tops $500.","description":"Travelers, get ready to open your wallets.
