Default American TV internet

Yo, friend in a panic, flying PHX to KOA during sports event. Do AA planes have live tv or uninterrupted internet to Hawaii?

You should on your device under free entertainment once you hook to the WiFi.

absolutely if it’s on liveTV you don’t even have to pay. If you need to stream it should be fine

I have not had internet work on any AA flights over water. It may be possible the aircraft used to Hawaii have a satellite based system but it has not functioned on any Caribbean flights I have flown. Drops off leaving Florida.

Not sure what you're talking about. Clearly you're not an AA pilot. Narrowbody internet works really well even overwater. OP's friend will have no issues streaming Live TV.

He's thinking of the days of GoGo internet. I believe all of the fleet has since been updated to satellite. Or are there still a few stragglers?

I have had good internet quality on Viasat equipped planes. Maybe the occasional 3-4 minute drop out, but comes right back and good speed.

The Bus's with gogo have sucked.....

100% of American's narrowbody fleet will be Viasat within the next month or two. Currently it stands at something like 98%.
