Browsing at high altitude, working with emails and peeking at social media while flying is an increasingly common "practice." Especially on intercontinental flights, airlines compete to entertain travelers by providing them with the most pleasant travel experience possible.

The latest news now comes from American Airlines. The star-studded company makes it possible to browse TikTok for free, having already introduced the onboarding use of Facebook Messanger. But let's find out how the service works.
TikTok on American Airlines
American Airlines' Wi-Fi is the most powerful among those offered by American airlines. Now, the carrier has added TikTok browsing to its list of free in-flight offerings: on board every plane equipped with Viasat Wi-Fi system, without having to pay for an Internet connection, travelers will be able to peek at the platform for thirty minutes. An offer, this one, valid as of last August 2 (the cost of Wi-Fi would cost 10 dollars per flight).
"Faster Wi-Fi allows us to offer different in-flight entertainment options and invest in innovative partnerships with platforms like TikTok," said Clarissa Sebastian of American Airlines. "Customers play the biggest role in helping us better understand what content they want during their in-flight experience. TikTok is one of the platforms they love most when they are on the ground, and we are excited to work with Viasat to offer them free access to social even when they are in the air."

To use it, it is necessary to select airplane mode and connect to "AA-Inflight". Once connected, one will be redirected to aainflight.com, the company's Wi-Fi portal: one clicks on the TikTok icon and thus gains free access to the platform. Those who are not already users of TikTok can also take the opportunity to download it in-flight.

The hi-tech innovations on board
There are several airlines that offer excellent service of Wi-Fi on board. And their services are constantly being implemented and improved. United, for example, introduced the Bluetooth headphones on its new eight Boeing 737 Max aircraft, along with LED lights and more powerful Wi-Fi.
Qatar Airways already allows people to use their Bluetooth headsets on its Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner to enjoy the contents of the celebrated in-flight entertainment system Oryx One. Qatar's national carrier was the first among Europe, the Middle East and North Africa to offer this service not only in Business Class but also in Economy, starting in early 2021. The idea is now to extend the service to other aircraft as well.
After all, in-flight Wi-Fi is no longer considered an optional extra. It has become a parameter of choice when selecting the perfect flight for oneself. A real need, not only for business people but also for ordinary Economy travelers, who demand high-end entertainment services. A desire, this, that the companies seem to have grasped. And that now, driven by the will to restart after the pandemic, they are improving. To be the next choice of every traveler, hoping that the black period is about to end.
