This is interesting but I’ll admit I’m not that familiar with airlines. For those frequent fliers out there where would Delta be ranked compared to other airlines?

Pretty low (disclaimer: I've never been on a Delta Flight) https://youtu.be/DtBkEJU1zr0?si=0P63PEo85vaJ0kFg |

Man if it were an actual combined channel and not just sharing expertise, I would've never had to leave the house.

It sounds like you don't lived in the US, I take it (what country are you from anyway)? It's probably one of the biggest airlines in the US, if not the whole world. Not to insult anybody that aren't living in the US or are not US citizens, but Delta Airlines is one of the biggest airline in the world, it's flight and it's brand can be found around the world. So I find this hard to believe that how can anybody not know who Delta Airline is. |

Delta is one of the three biggest airlines in the US. In my experience, it's also the best major domestic airline, but doesn't really hold a candle to the best European or Asian airlines. I've been using them as my primary frequent flier airline for the past couple of decades, so I'm definitely looking forward to the opportunity to watch anime in flight without running down my laptop battery. I just hope that they don't go dub-only and will offer up-to-date seasonal episodes. |

Delta is one of the Big Four in the U.S. I've used them (or their affiliates) for all my out-of-country trips. Their on-plane streaming video service usually includes foreign programming (including some titles not readily available in the States), so Crunchyroll access would be an excellent fit. |

This is completely ancedotal, but of the three major domestic US airlines (Delta, United, American), Delta is my favorite. They usually have the least expensive and least painful flights to my small hometown. |

If it's a personal in-flight entertainment, then it should have multiple audio option (meaning it should have both Japanese, and English voices, and also other multiple language audio dub option too), and multiple subtitles too. I flew on a United Airlines flight last month, and on my flight back home, the plane I flew had a in-seat personal in-flight entertainment and the movie I watched came with multiple language option when watching movie/films, and TV shows. So I can imagine this will be the same thing for Delta Airlines. Speaking of United Airlines, I wish Crunchyroll could give that same offer package to that airline too (and that would make sense given that United Airlines has 373 destinations total including Japan & East Asia of course, compared to Delta's 311 locations they fly to). |

You can be aware that Delta airlines exists and still have no experience flying on it, you don't have to be weird about people asking about it. |

Well, hopefully they don't play High Guardian Spice, otherwise there's gonna be a lot of walkouts.

The problem is the the OP user makes it sounds like he never heard of Delta Airlines, which is impossible because Delta Airlines is the world biggest airlines (it's ranked #1) as I stated on my post. So for a person like FanGamer24 to not know what or who Delta Airline is like the equivalent of a person not knowing what Nintendo, Microsoft, Google are. How would you react if you met a person similar to FanGamer24 and that person said to you "what is a Nintendo?", or "I never heard of an Iphone, what is that?", or "what is a Facebook?" I mean a person who doesn't know Delta Airlines is regardless if that person is a US citizens/nationals or a non-US nationals is just sound like they were sheltered their whole life and never exposed to the real world. As I said, Delta Airlines is the most well-known airline brand in the world, I find it hard to believe a person to not know what that airline is. |

This is probably because you are at one of their Hubs... Where sadly for me... Delta has always been more expensive in my area... Its been cheaper for the most part for me to run with Southwest and United but my City has both Hubs... But yeah Delta is ok even though I only flown with them once because of cost differences... So I do wish AA and United would get this treatment as well. But I don't think AA would get it because they decide to fit their planes with No Screen on the back seat and decide to go to Wifi route where you can do your streaming and stuff on your phone and tablet instead.. similar to Southwest... although I can't confirm if this is also the case on international flights. |

We're going slightly off topic here, and this is the last time I'll say this: The person who wrote the OP sounded like that he (or she) has never heard of Delta Airline despite it being the most largest airline in the world in term of brand value, revenue, assets, and market capitalization. I mean Conde Nast Traveler has rated Delta the number 1 best airlines last year. So I find it impossible for a person to have not heard of Delta Airlines. A person not know or heard of Delta Airlines is like meeting someone who doesn't know who Nintendo are, or has never seen or know what an Iphone is.
United Airlines is more likely to get anime on their personal in-flight entertainment (aka the TV screen on the back of the seat, and I can attest to this because I flew on their flight last month when returning home from a vacation). They have more locations served then Delta Airlines and American Airlines combined, and they are just as well-known on the same level as Delta. |
