    Hope the title makes sense ... Basically we want to buy a tablet that we can use to watch movies whilst travelling. The iPad is too high a price somewhat other tablets are more reasonably priced that allow you to watch movies without any data connection. Thanks in advance.

    Samsung is a good option.

    But if you want to stream you can only do it via wi-fi or a mobile data connection. To watch films on a plane you need to download the film beforehand and then just play it back, since neither data connection is available. That isn't streaming, it's just playing a video. Which any tablet will do.
    However if you want to connect where there is no local wi-fi hotspot, you'll need a 3G tablet with a data SIM on PAYG or contract.
    Why not just watch one of the multitude of movies supplied by the airline instead?

    You don't know who she's flying with.

    Easyjet etc don't show films.
