Everyone loves their AirPods — they're incredibly popular for good reason. They're sleek, wireless, and deliver fantastic sound quality. But what happens when you're on a Delta flight and want to use them with the seatback screen? It's a surprisingly common question, and the answer can make your flight way more enjoyable.
Before diving in, know that most Delta in-flight entertainment screens don't have built-in Bluetooth. That said, there's still a smart workaround. You can use a Bluetooth audio transmitter — a small device that plugs into the headphone jack and broadcasts audio to your AirPods. This is a game-changer for anyone who hates tangled wires on a long flight.
To get started, power on your transmitter and hold its pairing button until it blinks. Then, open your AirPods case near your ears so they enter pairing mode. Once connected, plug the transmitter into the blue headphone jack on your Delta screen. You'll hear that satisfying chime — and you're all set!
