So what do you do? You can buy a tiny Bluetooth transmitter—a cute little dongle that plugs into the plane’s headphone jack. Then your wireless headphones talk to the dongle, and boom, you’re watching the movie with zero cable guilt. Just pack it before you fly, or you’ll be holding your earbud to the seatback screen like a sad modern art piece.
