[palmbeachman22]

I was on that plane. flight 355 from West. Palm Beach to Newark. It was a surprise to see avod. Now everytime I book my flights I look for 757 200

[Airbus928]

You in Houston? Ive been to Houston

Thanks anyway im tanking this plane in 2 months from Newark, NJ (EWR) to Sint Maarten (SXM)

THANKS A TON

[020808]

No, I live in Dallas. They all (757-200) have AVOD now so is should be a nice flight.

[sebbey101]

@020808

Hey where this flight from and where is it going

and what seat are you in

Thanks .........

[020808]

@sebbey101 I don't remember where this flight was going. It was taken a few years ago and I do well over 100 flights a year. I know the airport it was filmed at was Houston and this is the exit row, which has be renumber since the video was filmed. I think it was seat 16A.

[sebbey101]

@020808

[lukemanny]

when you think of a 757 you think "ugh" because you know that youre gonna be sitting there w/ nothing to do for 8 hours. but now you think "yay" because you have AVOD!!...Thanks Continental!

[flyusair]

did they show a safety video?

[020808]

yes

[siemenstraffic]

On the 27 of September 2008 on flight CO122Y a 575-200 from Liberty Newark to Copenhagen on had this system and it a POS!

The entertainment system crashed 3 times within a hour during the flight. Believe it or not, this is a Linux based system!

The captain excuse was there was a power surge since the APU was not working properly at the gate in Newark! BS!

[Monthagny]

I was on a Virgin 346 to LAX and it crashed at least 4 or 5 times during the flight. Aparently the system generates huge amunts of heat during operation.

[tristanhnl]

Sorry you didn't have much luck with the AVOD, but that's the nature of computers/electronics. Sometimes they run smoothly, sometimes they don't. CO's 772ER's also have this sytem (although with a much, much wider selection of movies, shows and music), and every flight I've been on on this aircraft the system was near flawless. Even on the numerous 16-hour nonstop flights I've taken from Newark to Hong Kong, only once did the flight attendants have to reboot the system. I guess I'm lucky :-)

[anush10]

Long time since you posted but do you know if the 757-300 aka flying pencil :) has avod or live tv available?

[tristanhnl]

Hi anush10! To answer your question, no, not yet. The 757-300 will probably be one of the last type aircraft to get the system unfortunately. The first to get them will be the 737-900ERs and 737-800s that were delivered without any form of IFE whatsoever (since it doesn't make sense to install the overhead monitors only to rip them out to put the liveTV in shortly down the road). After those have been installed, retrofits on current 737NG's will take place.

[tristanhnl]

To add to my last post, according to some people I know, the liveTV system is SWEET!! It'll have 80 channels, if you can believe it. Continental is setting the bar high!

[anush10]

AWSOME i really hope they can do it by this summer

[murdockta]

hi would anyone know if this is featured on the continental C0101 to manchester to newick?

[tristanhnl]

CO 101 MAN-EWR is currently flown with the 757-200, so yes you will get the AVOD shown in this video! All of CO's 752's have the system in both BusinessFirst and economy.

[MLeyden91]

Why is the window all fuzzy?

[020808]

moisture, it was cold inside and very humind outside

[heaven2006]

Im also flying on a continental 757 within 2 weeks. How do I know if my flight alreaday has AVOD system? It will be a transatlantic flight.

[Dizneyfreak4]

im flying on a continental 757 tomorrow that has this! cant wait!

[PilotJsmith]

I'm flyin on a 757 and a 737 with continental tomorrow.

[movieman730]

I'm flying continental soon and i am hoping that the 757 i'm on has the AVOD, also are all the continental 757s configured with bussiness/first seats?

[davidphantomoftheope]

I wish that they would put AVOD on all of their B656-200's. It would make the BHX/BRS/MAN - EWR flight much less boring.

[davidphantomoftheope]

Sorry, I mean B757-200'0s not B656-200's.

[romanianlover123]

that must have been a small plane

[020808]

The 757-200 is not a small plane! Esp. since I'm in the ERJs most of the time.

[fadrezz515]

Absolutely correct! talking about small planes, 737 is the right one

[tristanhnl]

CO's 757-200's have 175 seats. Small? Compared to bigger aircraft perhaps so, but I still wouldn't call it a small plane :-)

[Joshca92]

What was the flight number of this flight

[aliciddaman]

CO77 from Bristol to Newark and CO76 from Newark to Bristol.

[aliciddaman]

woops i thought i was watchin a different video lol

[OvenReadiesYUM]

Same with me. I went from Cle to Lax, i was on first class with my mom, and i was like so interested in the seating and everything (this is inmature kind of but im only 12 lol)

[N74OW2]

how many 757s are now with the avod sytem?

[tristanhnl]

More than 1/2 of CO's 757-200's now have AVOD in both BusinessFirst and economy. By the end of 2008 or very early 2009 all 41 of these aircraft will be fitted with the system from nose to tail.

[Fabiomueller1655]

I flew on that flight before

[Jperson106]

Dont You Have To Swipe A Card?

[020808]

No, Continental AVOD is free.

[COCabinCrew]

you did luck out! where were you going out of IAH- MSY or SAT?

[020808]

SAT

[BeechSundowner]

I was on a 767 with this gadgetry from ATL to HNL. 11 hours air time westbound! Was great to pass the time watching the GPS track as well as play games :-)

[tristanhnl]

I'm gonna play psychic and say you were on the nonstop Delta flight :-P. Was the entertainment system audio-video on demand (able to watch/listen to whatever you want when you want, with the ability to pause, fast forward, or rewind)?

[BeechSundowner]

Yes, I was on the nonstop flight :-) I didn't play with the video on demand aspect, just kept channel hopping (typical guy thing) LOL
