I know that Cathay Pacific has them and air canada does'nt other ? I don't know if EVA has upgraded all of their fleet yet, but I flew on one of their A330's with PTV's a couple of weeks ago. Not only do they have a bigger screen and more choices, the PTV's work on demand, so you can pause, fast-forward, or rewind the movie or program. Also, the video game selection and Map choices have been expanded. Awesome. I believe that NW A330's also have the PTV's, but not sure if they are on-demand like EVA. NW 747's do not have PTV's. United has PTV's in economy on the 777's, but not on-demand. Usually there's 6 movies and some other programming available. United 747's do not have PTV's in economy. Last time I flew JAL, there was no PTV's in economy. I refuse to fly on China Airlines so don't know about PTV's in economy. |

You might also want to look into spending a bit more and considering Eva's
"Evergreen Deluxe" which gives you a wider seat and more legroom, for not that much more than economy class prices. For a long trip it might be well worth it. "bloglo globulo" wrote in message .. .

Bear in mind that IFE's (especially personal TV screens) do marginally
increase the risk of flying. The Swissair crash in the late 1990s was probably caused by sparking in the wiring for the personal TVs. Furthermore, the boxes for the electronics that make these things work tend to eat into your leg-room. I shall be flying to China on Lufthansa in a few days -- one factor in my choice of airline was that Lufthansa do NOT have personal TVs. |

Now that they are, remedial action has been taken. Dave ===== NSW Rural Fire Service - become a volunteer today. http://www.rfs.nsw.gov.au/ |
