I'm specifically interested in the Sports 24/7 Package.

I have to fly from LAX to Miami on Sunday June 18th for work and want to watch the US Open on the flight. Flight 1024.

Wondering if anybody knows whether or not they have live TV on that flight route or not.

Neither the website nor American Airlines customer service can give me a definitive answer.

Thanks!

Welcome to FlyerTalk.

It would help to know which aircraft (or at least which flight so someone could check if they wish). But live telly isn't usual on AA. Here's a thread that has links to the different aircraft types and usually what kind of IFE they offer: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/ameri...s-ife-etc.html. (We will ultimately merge this into that thread.)

In the future, AA is moving to a model where the IFE from a local server and is streamed within the aircraft on WiFi to our own device - that's currently used on aircraft like the MD-80s and will be thevstandard on narrowbodied aircraft (those with seatback IFE will retrain that, but the 737 MAX will have streaming).
