In-flight boredom can Singapore Archivesoften be soothed by the screen planted on the seat before you. But that small luxury will soon be nixed from a set of new jets from American Airlines.
Instead, the company said, passengers can just bring their laptops, phones and other gadgets if they need a little entertainment on the journey.
SEE ALSO: JetBlue now has free Wi-Fi on all flights100 new Boeing 737 Max jets debuting on routes later in 2017 won't have any screens because, according to American Airlines, they're just not needed any more. The company reports that 90 percent of the people on board American flights bring their own screens, according to a statement emailed to Mashable.
By providing a strong Wi-Fi connection, the airline says its customers' needs should be met -- a tactic also being used by United Airlines on its single-aisle jets, CNN reports. The seatback screens will still remain on some American aircraft, particularly for international flights.
The airline will offer "free streaming [of] high-quality movies and music" aboard flights and is investing in "fast satellite-based internet access and power at every seat across our domestic fleet."
"Every customer with a phone, tablet or laptop will be able to watch free movies and TV shows from our extensive on-board library, as well as free live television channels, all without purchasing an in-flight internet connection," the statement reads.
So just make sure you don't forget the gadgets -- and keep them in your hand luggage.
