The Movies You'll Most Likely Find On Your Holiday Flights

In an attempt to keep the spirit of Christmas alive in the skies, most airlines, including American, United and Delta, are currently offering a meager selection of holiday movies for your seatback entertainment. Four Christmases, starring Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn as a couple trying to get away from their families, and Elf, starring Will Ferrell as a man who is raised as an elf in the North Pole, seem to be this year's in-flight movies of choice. United is also playing Nothing Like The Holidays, a dramady about a family that reunites in Chicago for Christmas, on select international flights, but overall, its slim pickins' for holiday travelers this year.

If you're looking for some in-flight holiday cheer, the best bet may be to use Google's free WiFi and load up your PC with a selection of holiday classics before boarding your flight. Need some suggestions? Holiday Inn and Miracle on 34th Street are both Christmastime staples that are easy to get lost in, a major advantage when you're on a plane packed with stressed holiday travelers in the middle of flu season. If you're in need of a good laugh, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation is a good option and not one that you'll see on TV a hundred times in the month of December. For rom-com fans, Love Actually has eight intertwining storylines that are sure to please. Not to mention, Hugh Grant is as charming as ever in the role of a bachelor Prime Minister who falls for a member of his staff. All of these movies are can be "rented" on iTunes for $2.99 or Netflix with a membership.
