United's Kinective Media is the latest example of how airlines have adopted new revenue streams such as cobranded cards.

The carrier on Friday said it launched a media platform to serve travelers personalized advertisements on seat-back screens and in its app, among other platforms, as it seeks to leverage customer data.

WTF man, I pay for the tickets and now I have to watch ads???

We paid for cable and streaming services too. They’ll milk us to dust, then run ads on the remaining pile.

I guess the best way now is to download a 4K movies onto a laptop and bring it with you on your trip

Afaik it’s a thin margin sector. I’ve even heard of pilots paying to fly during bad periods.
