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?

    It is my hope to rent a movie today

    Can I watch a rented movie without an internet connection?
    I.e: is it streamed or downloaded?
    Do I have to buy the movie in order to watch it without an internet connection?

    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. This means, only during the starting of the movie. Once you have started playing the movie rental, internet connection is not required. You can play anywhere without internet connection.

    Can you watch a rented movie from iTunes in flight?

    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.
