Final Shots: Netflix Takes To The Friendly Skies

For Netflix’s next trick, it’ll make flying a little easier. The streaming service is partnering with Virgin America to offer free in-flight Wi-Fi so that passengers will be able to stream their favorite movies and televisions series while flying, reports Variety. Between now and March 2, 2016, Netflix subscribers will be able to access the service on their smart phones, tablets and computers at no extra cost. The magazine points out that the move follows on the footsteps of a similar one that Amazon struck with JetBlue to make Wi-Fi free for Prime members.
