Bluetooth

During a flight, passengers can connect a Bluetooth audio device to the seatback monitor to stream audio while playing media or games on the interactive, improving passenger comfort and satisfaction, and saving the airline the cost of passing out headphones.

Currently, only Bluetooth audio devices, such as headsets, earbuds, and speakers, can be connected to the seatback monitor. In addition, only one device can be connected at a time.
