BA 777 Planes into Orlando

[annafoo77]

Hi this our second trip to Orlando, this time flying on a BA 777 aircraft, world traveler ie. economy class. It states on the BA site that not all 777 have been upgraded to the seat back TV's (AVOD) can anyone let us know if this is the case on the Orlando flights, as if not we will have two very bored children, also what is the seat room like, as we flew Virgin before.

Thanks in advance,
Anna

Hi! From what I have read on here the Orlando route had been upgraded to AVOD, the last time I flew with them (Jan 08) I think there were 18 film/tv channels and games etc we found the quality better than the Virgin Orlando route

we had seat back tvs with on demand videos in aug/sep 09 and it was really good, loved that they had a good range of films and you could pause them for comfort breaks and food. Made the long journey go much faster. think i watched three films and some tv shows.

Have flown on BA 777 to various destinations for past 10 years or so (at least I think the early part of those years were 777's, def not 747's), have always had seatback tv's, and last October our Tampa flight had the on demand system installed. I seem to recall people posting that the Orlando route aircraft also has the newer system installed. You will be fine!
