The company reports that 90 percent of the people on board American flights bring their own screens, according to a statement emailed to Mashable.

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.
