The Entertainment amenity covers a wide range of passenger entertainment options. Entertainment data includes the method of delivery to the passenger (e.g., overhead screens, wireless streaming, distributed tablets, seatback screens); content types such as audio-video on demand, loop video, and live TV; and the cost associated with each type. In cases where more than one entertainment type is deployed in a single cabin, multiple combinations of each type are available.
