Delta Welcomes YouTube and YouTube Premium Onboard

October 3, 2025

YouTube is now onboard as the newest partner to join Delta’s in-flight entertainment experience.

Delta and YouTube have teamed up to bring two customer favorites together: Delta’s industry-leading in-flight entertainment and fan-favorite YouTube content.

The partnership brings ad-free access to a selection of YouTube videos, podcasts and music playlists onboard. Plus, SkyMiles Members logged onto Delta Sync Wi-Fi can unlock a 14-day free preview of YouTube Premium on Delta Wi-Fi-enabled flights within the U.S with no form of payment required.

“This partnership was born from a simple but powerful insight: our customers love YouTube,” said Julieta McCurry, Delta’s Vice President of In-Flight Entertainment and Connectivity in a media announcement. “As two leaders in our respective spaces, each with a legacy of innovation and a deep commitment to serving as agents of human connection, Delta and YouTube are uniquely positioned to deliver an unmatched customer experience – one that meets you where you are and helps you discover more of your world.”

Coming to a Seatback Near You

A selection of YouTube videos, podcasts and music playlists is rolling out now across all seatback screens, including the 300+ and counting powered by Delta Sync. From travel and lifestyle to comedy and culture, customers can explore ad-free YouTube content tailored to their journey from creators like Mr. Beast, Kinigra Deon, Mother Goose Club and more, along with podcasts and music playlists.

In addition, Delta’s boarding music is now powered by YouTube Music. Customers will enjoy a new instrumental pop soundscape designed to be elevated, comforting and friendly for all ages.

This partnership launch is part of a broader transformation—one that blends cutting-edge technology with meaningful collaborations to enhance how customers engage with content—both in the air and on the ground.

As announced at CES 2025, Delta is introducing a state-of-the-art, next-generation Delta Sync seatback experience, expected to debut with select aircraft in 2026. The new cloud-based platform is designed to evolve with customer preferences over time, offering a more personalized and seamless entertainment experience.
