Stream and Soar: Air France Teams Up with Apple TV for a Next-Level In-Flight Binge (Coming 2026!)

If you thought long-haul flights were just about restless naps and reruns, think again. Starting in 2026, Air France is turning travel days into movie nights with its partnership with Apple TV. Ready for takeoff: streaming favorites soaring high soon!

Streaming at 30,000 Feet: What’s New?

Picture this: You’ve just settled in for your long-haul Air France flight, and with a few taps on your phone or tablet, you can watch "Ted Lasso," "The Morning Show," and "Severance"—all included, with plenty more where that came from. In January 2026, Air France announced a fresh partnership with Apple TV, raising the bar for in-flight entertainment.

What Travelers Can Expect

Over 45 hours of Apple TV originals: Enjoy a rich lineup of hits and originals, curated for both French and English speakers—plus subtitles and features for extra accessibility.
Seamless Binge-watching: Thanks to a new high-speed Wi-Fi portal, you’ll get one week of free Apple TV access to keep watching after you land.
Rolling Out Fleetwide: The upgraded Wi-Fi is being added across all Air France aircraft, even regional routes, with full rollout expected by year’s end.

What’s Great About This?

Seriously upgraded flights: No more relying on outdated seat-back catalogs. There’s finally something for everyone—travelers of all ages, binge-watchers, and picky viewers alike.
All-access feeling: With support for multiple languages and viewers with different abilities, everyone on board can tune in.
From takeoff to taxi: The “watch now, finish later” model means you never need to put your favorite show on pause—even after landing.

The Not-So-Great Bits

Just a taste: Only the first three episodes of each series are available—enough to get hooked, but possibly not enough to satisfy bingers on long journeys.
Wi-Fi Work in Progress: Since the speedy Wi-Fi is still rolling out, it may not be available on every flight just yet.

Why It Matters for Travelers

Air France’s Apple TV move signals a push for comfort and innovation at cruising altitude. By leading with rich content and improved connectivity, Air France could win over travelers looking for a premium—and more entertaining—journey. For now, the full perks are just beginning to arrive, but it’s a promising start for anyone hoping their next flight is something to look forward to.
