Vport?

[gemmybear83]

I know its been talked about the last couple of years, but does the Orladno route haev the VPORT system yet on its Orlando route (and if not is this happening?).

Or have BA introduced on demand entertainment to their Orlando flights yet?

nope, no vport on any of the LGW planes yet and no confirmed plans for it either.

no idea about BA, but i gather their planes going to MCO are even less loved than virgins?

I flew BA to MCO last year - there was a choice of 18 films + plus tv channels but not on demand, how does this compare to virgin?

v-port out of Gatwick Virgin flights .......... more likely to see snow in August in Florida than see that anytime soon

2008 was supposed to see the MAN/LGW fleets PE and IFE upgrades but due to the economic doom and gloom it has been suspended indefinately ..... so unless one of the LGW flights goes down and you get a LHR aircraft (which have ALL been refitted with new seats and IFE) in its place you're stuck with Nova or Odyssey useless both of them!

why LHR cant swap maybe one or two of the planes with LGW I dont know. maybe Business travellers just mean so much more to them than the LGW holidayers.

Did anyone else see that flying pig....

Seriously though there is no V-port on the LGW/MAN fleet and it is not likely anytime soon

And they don't use the LHR planes and LGW if they can help it as LHR has more Upper/PE seats and less Econ therefore taking less passengers and meaning free upgrades if they do and therefore less money.

Hmm might stick with BA then I think the 777 planes they use are slightly newer, and the entertainment was ok I just prefer on demand!
