The funniest part being that a lot of the people they get are cool with paying thousands if not tens of thousands of dollars for a few hours in the sky, so 20% off on cosmetics likely don't really move the needle very much for the typical LP target audience (which I am most definitely not, I would happily take the 20% off if I wasn't already using other products lol).

This is what worked for me:
  1. Touch one of the main TV screens to "wake them up" (yes they are touch screens hilariously enough, makes zero sense since you can't touch them from your seat but I guess it's very helpful when the tablet is broken...). I'm not sure this step is necessary.
  2. Make sure the tablet is on the main welcome screen, and not browsing something or on the seats settings.
  3. Long press the bottom right corner of the tablet screen itself, on the white part, and after a few seconds the tablet will reset
  4. Then go to the movies section on the tablet - it will still likely look like it's broken, but after maybe 20-30 seconds it will magically fix itself and the content will appear. It will still be a not great experience, very laggy etc, but at least it works.
