inflight entertainment

I've been flying twice a month now for last 4-5 months Perth - Brisbane route and Qantas hasn't updated their dozen or so IPAD movies and TV shows for what feels like forever. Any idea how often they change them? Twice a year? Have to use my tablet this flight as I've seen everything on the...

Hello fellow travellers. Heading to the US in a week or so on the following flights, can anyone enlighten me as to what IFE is available and if there is a USB input for our own media and as to what format the "media" needs to be in. Travelling economy :shock: Thanks in advance. QF93 | MEL...

I've just sent this as feedback to Virgin. I wanted to know if other people have had similar experiences. When I started flying Virgin, I was super impressed with their IFE offerings. However it seems like the maintenance of it has been neglected. : I've been flying Virgin quite frequently...

Hi All, I must admit that I enjoy getting the latest news on my flight, particularly if I've been away a few days with meetings in the evenings etc, it's nice to catch-up on the less detailed analysis that reading a newspaper would bring (I like to be lazy and a little informed!!) However...

Hi there, we're looking to book for our holiday within the next few months to CPT. If we're flying QF, the majority of flying time will be from SYD to JNB. I was just wondering, is the in flight entertainment any good, now this is on the older non refurbished 747s, not the ones with the cabin...

Has anyone ever noticed the display of "Time to Destination" that is displayed in the hand controller of the IFE? I've noticed on overnight flights that if I check it after I've been asleep it seems to be locked in the past. For instance, it might say Time to Destination 7 hours but after I...

I flew VZL recently and was very surprised to find that it had both IFE and the red leather seats in business. It did not have the BSI, which came much later. This is odd because I was of the understanding that the first aircraft to be delievered with IFE was VZM. Furthermore, I have flown in...

Hi all Currently sat on the delayed QF409 to MEL and have now seen Pia Miller's intro to Q streaming a few times. I just noticed that the instructions do not require the QF iPads to be shut down for landing. The instructions very clearly say "when you have finished with Q streaming just...

Hello all I returned from a flight this week and there were 4 devices (2 tablets and one smartphone at least) in use in rows 3 to 5. As they were the pax own devices, they had no headphones I assume, and so i enjoyed the symphony of games, clips and other wonderful multimedia (all praise the...

From the CEO's address In the next month, we will commence implementation of a leading in-flight stored content Wi-Fi system, which will enable customers to stream video and audio directly to their own personal electronic devices We will also open ‘stage one’ of our new flagship lounge at...

Due to frequency of visits to China I regularly purchase whatever new DVDs are available so I often have difficulty finding movies on IFE that I have not seen previously. My guys in house regularly borrow complete TV serieseses from internet - I like to watch a complete series back to back to...

Hello hello, long time no chat, thanks to all who have put my mind at ease in the past with varying questions and what not. Greatly appreciated. Ok on Thursday I'm off to Brisbane for 10 days to see the family and also go to the Bledisloe Cup Rugby Test. Just a few queries - flying Qantas in...

Hi I heard from an FA that works for Jetconnect that they no longer operate the SYDCHC service and it's now Australian planes/crew. Does anyone know if there will still be AVOD on the 738 now? Last time I flew to ZQN (also Australian plane/crew) there was no AVOD. Thanks!

Does the revamped qf's 7 and 8 syd-dfw-bne have the 380 inflight entertainment with more movies, etc. than the old 747? Thanks.

Hi Guys, I've applied for an upgrade to Premium Economy for my upcoming flight to LA. Having only been in economy before, I have only experienced the screens on the back of the chair in front. Apparently in PE these come out of the armrest? Does that mean you are constantly looking down...

as a truck driver part of my pre start work check is to have zero loose items in the truck cab in case of roll over in accident as flying objects can cause injuries. Makes we wander what 100 portable IFE devices like the one on jet* would so in a severe case of turbulence.

From a travel daily alert (part of the email) QStreaming on all Qantas B767 aircraft Qantas Domestic ceo Lyell Strambi has just announced the rollout of the QStreaming inflight entertainment system across its full 23-strong Boeing 767 fleet. The move follows a successful trial of the service...

I travel on a route weekly, always at the same day/time. Sometimes it has a modern aircraft with individual touch screen in flight entertainment, other times it has older aircraft with the overhead screens and nothing shown that interests me. Is there any way that I can find out in advance...
