This handy device allows you to watch in-flight entertainment or listen to music together on long-haul journeys, so you can discuss the movies when you land or enjoy your favourite songs together.
If you have kids, it also ensures you can plug them into the same iPad for games and TV shows and buy yourself a little quiet time, without them fighting over who gets the screen.
