Passengers on Flybe's Southampton-Edinburgh route are to be loaned hundreds of pre-loaded iPads and Samsung Galaxy tablets, as part of a trial with Sky.
The new service from Sky allows customers to download TV shows and movies onto their mobile devices, to be watched offline without the need for an internet connection.
Sky Go Extra costs £5 per month depending on the customer’s Sky TV subscription, but during the trial Flybe will be loaning out iPads and Samsung tablets pre-loaded with content free of charge.
Programmes will include An Idiot Abroad, Game of Thrones and Girls, as well as children-friendly content including Ben 10 and Scooby Doo.
It’s worth noting that trial is currently only running for a week on Flybe's 90-minute Southampton-Edinburgh route – devices will be loaned out to passengers on a first-come, first-served basis.
