Abstract

In an approach for sending a media list to a transportation vehicle for a user, a processor determines a media list for travel for a user, wherein the media list includes at least one media content item, and wherein the media list has associated access credentials that are set by the user. A processor receives a travel reservation for the user, wherein the travel reservation includes, at least, a departure location and a destination location. A processor determines a transportation vehicle associated with the travel reservation. A processor receives the access credentials to the media list. A processor uses the access credentials to access the media list. A processor send the media list to the transportation vehicle, wherein the media list is associated with the user, and wherein the media list is accessible to the user.
