    I’ve been on some United flights that let you stream 4k video with no issue. It’s pretty uncommon, but it’s amazing when it’s there.

      Was this 4k video from an arbitrary source, like a random YouTube video? Or from United’s website?

      I haven’t flown outside is Southwest in a while, but they have a bunch of licensed video content that is hosted locally on the plane. And therefore cheap.

        It’s content from places like Netflix or Hulu, or anywhere else on the general internet.
