American Airlines plans to offer passengers flying out of LaGuardia Airport in-flight personal entertainment devices in an effort to rival hip, low-cost carriers like Delta Song and Jet Blue, reports NY1.

A spokesperson from American Airlines comments on the new product offering: "It's called a personal entertainment device but we're going to brand it later and what it does is provide passengers with a whole range of entertainment and information options. The device is yours to rent for the duration of the flight. All you have to do is slip a credit card through the slot and the credit card in this case will take $7.95 off your credit card. You will have 12 feature movies, out of first run, but not yet on DVD, you will have 12 music videos, you will have games, you will have music and a vast array of options."
