We are an independent publisher. Our reporters create honest, accurate, and objective content to help you make decisions. To support our work, we are paid for providing advertising services. Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Next” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. The compensation we receive and other factors, such as your location, may impact what ads and links appear on our site, and how, where, and in what order ads and links appear. While we strive to provide a wide range of offers, our site does not include information about every product or service that may be available to you. We strive to keep our information accurate and up-to-date, but some information may not be current. So, your actual offer terms from an advertiser may be different than the offer terms on this site. And the advertised offers may be subject to additional terms and conditions of the advertiser. All information is presented without any warranty or guarantee to you.

This page may include: credit card ads that we may be paid for (“advertiser listing”); and general information about credit card products (“editorial content”). Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Apply Now” button or “Learn More” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. When you click on that hyperlink or button, you may be directed to the credit card issuer’s website where you can review the terms and conditions for your selected offer. Each advertiser is responsible for the accuracy and availability of its ad offer details, but we attempt to verify those offer details. We have partnerships with advertisers such as Brex, Capital One, Chase, Citi, Wells Fargo and Discover. We also include editorial content to educate consumers about financial products and services. Some of that content may also contain ads, including links to advertisers’ sites, and we may be paid on those ads or links.

    Citi ThankYou Points Don't Transfer to American Airlines But You Can Still Use Them to Pay for Their Seats

    Update: One or more card offers in this post are no longer available. Check our Hot Deals for the latest offers.

    You won’t need to pay to stream your Apple Music songs and videos on domestic American Airlines flights starting on February 1, 2019.  And if you don’t have Apple Music, you can get a free trial that should start right on your flight.

    Typically, Wi-Fi on American Airlines flights costs ~$10.  But now it’s free to stream your Apple Music subscription.

    This is a pretty cool partnership and I hope other airlines try to match it.

    You’re likely reading this because you find yourself on American Airlines flights quite a bit.  The fastest way to free American Airlines flights is by collecting American Airlines miles from generous sign-up bonuses:

    The information for the Citi AAdvantage Platinum and CitiBusiness AAdvantage Platinum card has been collected independently by Million Mile Secrets. The card details on this page have not been reviewed or provided by the card issuer.

    Fly Within the US on American Airlines and You’ll Be Able to Stream Your Apple Music Without Having to Pay for Wi-Fi

    American Airlines Is Improving Its In-Flight Entertainment

    Over on the Apple Music blog, Janelle Anderson, vice president of Global Marketing at American Airlines said, “Our guests want to make the most of their time when flying us.  That’s why we’re investing in faster Wi-Fi, a variety of entertainment options, and why we’re so excited to introduce Apple Music to more of our customers.”

    Don’t Have an Apple Music Subscription?

    When you sign-up onboard an American Airlines flight, you can get free access for 3 months.

    Other Airlines Should Match This!

    Airlines have steadily chipped away at the amenities that used to come with your paid ticket.  So I hope this is a partial reversal of that trend.

    I fly JetBlue a lot domestically, in part because you get free Wi-Fi.  Usually it’s good enough to stream music — from any service you want — not just Apple.

    But I like that American Airlines is trying to differentiate their domestic flights with this Apple Music partnership and I hope it’s a sign of more good things to come!
