How to Watch HBO Max on a Plane

For many people who plan to travel, watching TV and movies during the journey is the best way to kill time. Some airlines offer WiFi on the aircraft, which can help you stay in touch with your family and friends while traveling, or staying entertained with some apps.

However, not all aircraft offer this service, and some of the services must be paid for by the hour. Besides, bandwidth on an airplane is extremely limited, so it's barely possible for you to stream long videos online (TV series or movies). The better choice may be to download the video in advance and watch them offline to avoid extra fees. The following will introduce two ways for watching HBO Max on a plane, with or without using in-sight WiFi.

However, not all of them are fast enough for streaming videos on HBO Max, and Wi-Fi is available on limited flights of certain airlines. So, if you want to watch HBO Max TV series or movies on an airplane smoothly, it's suggested that you can download them in advance so as to play them offline on a plane.

2. Watch HBO Max offline

HBO Max enables users to download videos and watch them offline on mobile devices. And it is pretty easy. Just find the video you want to download, and click the download button. However, there are limitations if you download videos with the HBO Max app. For instance, you can only download a maximum of 30 videos at once, and the download will expire 48 hours after you start watching them. The HBO Max app is not the ideal choice if you want to watch videos that you've downloaded while traveling a long distance and are unsure of whether you'll have access to Wi-Fi.

To get rid of these limits, you can download all your favorite HBO Max videos on your device, and watch them offline locally. You don't need to download them again if your downloads expire. Instead, they will be kept on your device forever. To know how it works, read on.
