American Airlines, which has the fastest Wi-Fi on more aircraft than any other US airline, has just added TikTok to its list of free in-flight deals.
Without having to purchase Wi-Fi, customers traveling in Viasat-equipped narrowbody aircraft can get 30 minutes of free access to TikTok, an entertainment platform powered by a global community of creatives. This is a promotional offer starting August 2nd, 2021.
“Faster Wi-Fi enables us to deliver diverse entertainment options on board and invest in innovative partnerships with platforms such as TikTok,” said Clarissa Sebastian, America’s Managing Director of Premium Customer Experience and Onboard Products. “Customers play the main role in helping us better understand what content they want during their flight experience, and TikTok is one of the platforms they love on the ground and in the air.”
A Beginner’s Guide to TikTok on American
What is TikTok? TikTok is available as a mobile app and on a desktop and has made it its mission to inspire creativity and bring joy through short videos. While the platform is a hit with GenZ thanks to its dance challenges and lip-sync videos, the platform has something for everyone – from tech-savvy teenagers to those born to a time when they only had landline phones at home.
How it works: Activate flight mode and connect to the “AA-Inflight” signal. Once connected, customers will be redirected to aainflight.com, the Wi-Fi portal. Just click on the TikTok ad for free access to the platform. Pro Tip: If you’re not a TikTok user, you can connect to aainflight.com in-flight and download the app without paying for Wi-Fi.
Once signed into TikTok, customers can search for popular video creators, their favorite topics, or even hashtags like #travel, #traveltips, or #traveltheworld to view related video content for travel and adventure enthusiasts.
When you explore TikTok, you will find the following:
- Travel inspiration, remote places, and travel tips
- Animal and nature videos
- Comedians and pop culture experts
- Sports, classic car videos and car tips
- Music and dance trends
- Wellness tips and beauty tutorials
- Career advice for summer internships, résumé development and financing
Trials like this and others that customers traveling on Viasat-equipped narrowbody flights have free access to, such as Facebook Messenger and Messenger Kids, help American evaluate offers to give customers the best experience throughout their trip Offer.
All entertainment on board is free
All in-flight entertainment on American flights is free, including a library of more than 600 films and TV shows and a collection of educational tools on America’s new lifestyle in-flight entertainment channel with exclusive partners Rosetta Stone and Skillshare.
American works with its Employee Business Resource Groups – 20 groups of more than 26,000 American Airlines team members representing diverse backgrounds, cultures, and experiences – to highlight films that celebrate the diversity of in-flight entertainment.
