Continental's AVOD in COACH 757-200

Got very lucky on the flight going to to orlando from newark. The AVODS are really nice, except they dont have as many features as i thought they would have had; such as live tv, and better movies. But the Games were great! Played Poker with other passengers on the flight. Very cool!

@tristanhnl Can you please un-block me cause I just want to send one more message then thats it! I promise!

[tristanhnl]

@TheLiLD95 Wow, it still surprises me how much you love to pick fights. Check your mail for a more thorough response from me....

@tristanhnl You don't stand correct because you said "No in-flight entertainment system on ANY airline will feature both AVOD and satelllite TV" NOT "Most airlines don't have both". Customers would choose Delta for that reason. Why would they install it then? It would be a waste of money. A long domestic flight, you would want to watch your shows and some movies. People with kids would like there kids to be occupied with a bit of both worlds. You stand incorrect. . .

[tristanhnl]

Then I stand corrected. Most airlines don't have both, it's either one or the other. Having AVOD means carrying around equipment that has significant weight. So why would an airline that's offering liveTV on an aircraft also want to carry extra weight for an additional type of entertainment option? Will customers choose Delta because they offer both avod AND liveTV? Not likely. MOST airlines wouldn't opt to do this. It increases cost. But if Delta wants to go that route, it's their prerogative.

@tristanhnl Delta has AVOD & LIveTV on some of there B737-800's & B737-700's so that comment you made is not true

[MarkMck1994]

hahaha! Flying to Newark from Edinburgh Scotland in 5 weeks, we are on a 757, it has the personal tvs, i hope we get this it looks so fun! And 7 hours and 45 mins is a long time, so i will need something extra to pass time!

dont worry, by the end of 2010, continental guaranteed that all domestic flights will have direcTV onboard. they already have it on all their 737-900ER's, 7 of their 737-800's, and 1 of their 737-900's.

I am going on one as well, and from my family members it turns out the AVODs are very good, with a surprising number of selections- according to the website, about 350.
