American Airlines is teaming up with Samsung Mobile to offer 6,000 of the company’s new Galaxy Tab 10.1 devices on board select flights beginning later this year.

The tablets will replace current in-flight entertainment devices in the carrier’s premium cabins on flights out of New York City’s JFK Airport to Los Angeles and San Francisco.

Passengers traveling to Los Angeles from Miami or Boston will also get a peak at the device as well as international travelers from select cities in Europe and South America.

Currently only available in New York City, the Galaxy Tab 10.1 launches nationwide on June 17.
