Netflix

Most people that have the internet access to be able to read this already know what Netflix is. However, many people do not know that it can be used offline. This makes it a nice tool to use while traveling. Here is how to do it:

• Connect to internet
• Download Netflix app on your phone or tablet
• Browse downloadable movies and shows
• Press the arrow to download your movie
• Wait for download to finish
• You are now ready to watch offline! (Keep in mind some downloads can expire after a period of time)

I have used Netflix while on planes, trains, and automobiles. Here are some of the benefits to utilizing Netflix.

• Many airlines charge for their entertaiment offerings, and many times the selection can still be very limited.
• Know your options before you go- many times you do not know what movies and TV shows will be offered on a plane or train until you have departed
• Start before getting on- If you are waiting in a terminal, lounge, or waiting area, you can start enjoying your movie or show before you get in the plane, train, or bus
• Continue watching later- If you start watching a movie or show on the plane or train and don’t have time to finish it, you would need to find another way to watch it. If it already is downloaded to your device you can just watch it at your leisure
• No need to hope for internet access- Some planes, busses, and trains now offer WiFi, but many do not. If you have something already downloaded you won’t have to worry and will be able to enjoy your entertainment anyway
