HT1657 Can I watch a rental movie in my iPad when in an airplane with the airplane mode on?

I rented a couple of movies hoping to watch them in the plane and all it says is it can not open when I try to watch.... Is there a way to watch rented movies in airplane mode?

Actually, I just called AppleCare and they told me that an Internet connection was required. I tried it anyways. Once the rented movie is fully downloaded onto your iPad, it will appear in the Videos app, in the Rentals section. From there, even if you turn the airplane mode on, you should be able to press the play button and watch the movie. Note that I rented the movie in HD format and that I use the iPad 3rd generation.
Hope this helps,
Cheers,

    Please be aware of the movie rental's time limitation that you have 30 days from the time of rental to watch your movie, and once you start watching it, you have 24 hours to finish watching it. You may watch it as many times as you like during those 24 hours. It may be helpful to make sure the download completes successfully before you begin watching the movie.
    Once the download is complete you can watch it without an Internet connection. However, an Internet connection to the iTunes Store is required to authorize playback or activate the 24 hours time-limit of movie rentals. You will unable to play the movie rental if you haven't started playing and activated the rental time limit of the movie rental before you board on the airplane.

    You may need to validate the rental prior to watching so it starts the rental period timer and for that you will need an internet connection. You can probably do that by starting the rented movie while on the Airport Wifi or right before leaving home. You'll have 24 hours to watch the movie after you start it.

    Can you watch a rental in airplane mode

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    From my own personal experience, I have found that when I turn off the Wi-Fi on my Wi-Fi only iPad, I am still able to play rented movies on it. I have tried this perhaps four or five times and in each case, this has been the result. I have also noted that other users have had the same experience as I.
    However saying that I have noted a small number of users that have stated they are unable to view rented movies without an Internet connection. This knowledge base article from Apple, also suggests that an Internet connection is required.

  • HT1657 Can I watch a rented movie without wifi turned on? Ie. when I'm on a flight?

    I am getting ready for a long Southwest flight and would like to watch movies on my iPad on the flight. SW's wifi ***** so hoping I can rent a movie prior and watch it on the plane without having wifi. If so... Anything I need to know on how to make his work?

    Well, then there's this statement:
    iTunes Store: Viewing and downloading HD content on iPad - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4095 > Movie Rentals on iPad >     *Movies rented on iPad cannot be transferred to other devices and can only be viewed on iPad. * An Internet connection to the iTunes Store is required to authorize playback of movie rentals.
    The statement has flexibility in interpretation though.  Maybe you just need to start playback and then it will continue?
