To whom it may concern,
Here’s how to download movies and watch the ones you actually want to see—even when you’re traveling and offline. More and more people are using personal devices—like iPads and Androids—for in-flight entertainment, instead of what’s on the airplane seat backs or in the hotel rooms. Renting a movie entitles you to download a copy from iTunes. Access to the movie is usually limited to 30 days, HOWEVER, once you start the movie your access will expire within 24 hours of starting the film. You can watch the movie as many times as you like during that 24. Here's how to prep your phone with fun games, new music, and great podcasts, so your next cross-country flight without Wifi is time well-spent. No point in downloading a movie if they’ll.

I am posting this in hopes that Apple will wake up and FIX this problem. This was not a problem in years past but as of December 26, 2017...it is a problem. So here is what is happening:
Step #1: You go to iTunes Store and download your favorite Movie
Step #2: You hop on a plane and then put your iPhone in Airplane Mode
Step #3: You try to watch your downloaded Movie and NO DICE 😟!
The resolution is quite simple...BEFORE you place your phone in Airplane Mode...you MUST attempt to watch the first few seconds of the movie while connected to wireless (Airport Wireless, Home Wireless before you left home, or MiFi wireless). The key is for some odd reason, Apple needs to have the Movie started and cached and then when you go into Airplane Mode to watch the movie. We also now get 48 hours instead of 24 hours to review the Movie 🙂. Or at least for me and my wife as of December 2017, we are getting 48 hours.
I hope that this is helpful and works for others in a similar fashion.
