Compensation and Retirement Disclosure [Abstract]
Employee Benefit Plan	Employee Benefit Plans The Company has two defined contribution plans under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code (“401(k)”) covering full-time domestic employees who meet certain eligibility requirements, the Global Eagle Entertainment Retirement Plan ("GEE 401(k) Plan”) and the Emerging Markets Communications Volume Submitter Defined Contribution Plan (the “EMC 401(k) Plan”). Under the GEE 401(k) Plan, eligible employees may defer up to 100% of their eligible compensation on either a pre-tax or after-tax Roth 401(k) basis, or up to the annual maximum allowed by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”). The Company may, but is not obligated to, match a portion of the employee contributions up to a defined maximum. The Company began matching employee contributions in 2016. Under the EMC 401(k) Plan, eligible EMC employees may defer up to 100% of their eligible compensation on either a pre-tax or after-tax Roth 401(k) basis, or up to the annual maximum allowed by the internal Revenue Service (“IRS”). EMC makes a matching contribution in accordance with a prescribed matching formula. For the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company recognized a total expense of $1.2 million and $0.7 million, respectively, for matching contribution for both 401(k) plans. The Company did not make any matching contributions to the GEE 401(k) Plan during the year ended December 31, 2015.
