Netflix account holders have access to the full library of films and TV shows and new users can sign up for a 30-day free trial.
 
"Netflix and Virgin America are both known for their focus on innovation and for shaking up their respective industries – so we’re thrilled to team up to bring the best in technology and entertainment to the skies," Virgin America VP brand marketing Abby Lunardini said.
 
No details have yet been announced on costs once the free streaming period expres.
 
"As Wi-Fi becomes more ubiquitous, it’s going to be increasingly possible for members to enjoy Netflix wherever they want," said Bill Holmes, Netflix’s global head of business development. 
 
"We’re delighted to partner with Virgin America to extend the joy of Netflix to our members."
