I'm still learning Tidal but I was able to create a Playlist and offline it. The tracks download to my iPad via Wifi at home. Once I'm on the road I'll have a couple dozen hours of music to play w/o consuming against a cellular data plan or Wifi. I plan to listen on my flight. Still experimenting. Fun stuff!

Some streaming services that offer offline listening capability give you a time window like 30-days before you need to "reconnect" to the service. I don't know how Tidal handles this. I'd like to find out.
