Can you use AirPods on in-flight TVs?

Apple AirPods are everywhere. So, seeing them on an airplane is definitely not out of the ordinary.

A long flight across the country or overseas usually leads to boredom. You can read, write, or enjoy a large catalog of movies and shows on an airline’s in-flight seat-back TVs.

You may be wondering how to connect AirPods to these in-flight entertainment systems, whether its to catch up on Game of Thrones or whatever collection of movies the flight is broadcasting.

Of course, to enjoy the entertainment, a traveler will have to use headphones. Either your own or buy some cheap ones provided by the airline.

What about those who have AirPods? After all, they do have exceptional sound quality and the ability to cancel out outside noise.

If you’ve ever flown, you know the drill: the engine hums in the background and there’s always someone chattering away.

Of course, having something that blocks all that noise is essential.

Can you use the AirPods on an airplane to watch the built-in TVs?

Answer: You can, but it requires extra equipment, like an AirPods airplane adapter.

The majority of airlines have a universal 3.5mm headphone jack. So, all you will have to do is purchase a Bluetooth adapter with a 3.5mm jack.

There are more than a few available on Amazon. One of the top-rated adapters is the fittingly named AirFlfy.
