Overview

  • A multiyear partnership is now delivering curated videos, podcasts, and music across the fleet via seatback screens and personal devices connected to Delta Sync Wi‑Fi.
  • Featured creators include MrBeast, chef Nick DiGiovanni, Mel Robbins, and Mother Goose Club, plus a YouTube Music playlist curated by flight attendants during boarding.
