Which Airline Is the Most Entertaining?

I don't know about you, but I cannot fall asleep on a plane.

So I spend much of my flight time staring at the often-limited entertainment options available on the seatback.

Next time I travel, I might do well to consider CableTV.com's roundup of airlines with the best entertainment options and overall in-flight experiences.

The TV and internet affiliate site evaluated airlines for the quality of their in-seat entertainment consoles, how easily you can use personal devices onboard, access to USB charging and electrical outlets, and the variety of movies, television channels, games, and music available.

JetBlue came out streaks ahead of the competition, largely because passengers can watch live TV with 36 channels on E190 and A320 planes and over 100 channels on A321 planes.

Each seat comes with 100 channels of SiriusXM Radio to listen to.

Another big plus is free in-flight Wi-Fi, which makes entertainment options almost limitless for those who've brought along tablets or laptops.

Delta came in second but its expensive Wi-Fi ($16) means passengers would do best to stick to the movies and shows offered on its own screens.

This month it's showing The Farewell and Hustlers, which are two great options to watch while you fly.

The airlines on the list that lag are Spirit, Allegiant, and Frontier.

None of them offer in-flight entertainment, and Spirit is the only one with Wi-Fi.

However you decide to entertain yourself on a flight, I advise you to not do as I did coming back from Paris recently, when I watched Serial (Bad) Weddings 2, a movie that manages to insult every culture involved and also culture at large.
