Use your wireless headphones on any airplane seat screen. Follow these three steps to pair the AirFly Pro 2 Deluxe and enjoy shared in-flight audio.
Quick answer
Plug the AirFly Pro 2 Deluxe into the airplane's headphone jack, put it in pairing mode, then connect your wireless headphones. You can share audio with a second pair of headphones.
Why you need a Bluetooth transmitter on a plane
Airplane seat screens use a standard 3.5mm audio jack. Most modern wireless headphones lack a wired input, so you need a Bluetooth transmitter like the AirFly Pro 2 Deluxe to bridge the gap. This device converts the wired audio signal into Bluetooth, letting you use your preferred wireless cans without a tangled cable.
What the Deluxe version adds
The Deluxe kit includes an International Airline Adapter and a premium faux suede bag. The adapter is useful for older planes with a dual-prong audio jack, though most modern aircraft use a single 3.5mm jack. The bag keeps the transmitter, adapter, and a short USB-C cable organized in your carry-on.
How to pair AirFly Pro 2 Deluxe with in-flight entertainment
- 1. Plug in the AirFly Pro 2 Deluxe: Insert the 3.5mm audio plug into the headphone jack on your seat screen. If the jack is recessed or uses a dual-prong design, attach the included International Airline Adapter first. A solid white LED indicates the AirFly is receiving audio. If you see no LED, check that the plug is fully inserted and the seat screen is powered on.
- 2. Put the AirFly into pairing mode: Press and hold the center button on the AirFly for about 5 seconds until the LED flashes blue and red. The device is now discoverable. If you have already paired headphones before, the AirFly will automatically reconnect to the last device; to force new pairing, hold the button for 10 seconds to clear the previous connection. Make sure your headphones are also in pairing mode before the AirFly times out (about 60 seconds).
- 3. Connect your wireless headphones: On your headphones, enable Bluetooth pairing. Look for 'AirFly Pro 2' in the available devices list and select it. Once connected, the LED on the AirFly will turn solid blue. You can now hear the seat screen audio through your wireless headphones. To share audio with a companion, put a second pair of headphones into pairing mode and press the AirFly's center button twice; the LED will flash purple while pairing the second set. If the audio is out of sync or crackles, move your headphones closer to the AirFly and ensure no other Bluetooth devices are interfering nearby.
