The Cabin Critic helps you figure out what to watch before you board your American Airlines flight — without scrolling through a seatback screen in the gate area.
Enter your AA flight number and we pull the entertainment catalog directly from American Airlines' system for your specific flight. We then look up each movie's Rotten Tomatoes critic score and IMDb rating via the OMDB API, rank everything from best to worst, and flag anything worth your time.
AA typically loads entertainment catalogs 1–3 days before departure. If your flight is more than a few days out, try again closer to your departure date. Short-haul flights (under ~2 hours) may have a limited or no catalog.
Flight entertainment data comes from American Airlines. Movie scores are sourced from the OMDB API, which aggregates data from Rotten Tomatoes and IMDb. Scores reflect critic consensus at the time of lookup and may not match exactly what appears on those sites.
