“unfortunately your In-Flight Engagement Actions ™️ did not meet the requirements to qualify you for in flight perks such as entertainment and meals”

“Please ensure you are looking directly at the screen while ads are playing to accumulate In-Flight Engagement Actions ™️”

Coming soon to an airline near you.
