Yeah, I know… that’s kind of why I put when the flights were, so as to make clear that they could have been updated since…

Certainly I know that AF’s A330’s were delivered with PTV’s, and AF were also installing PTV’s on their A340 and 777 fleets when I flew with them (but it kind of hacked me off to to find an article in the Inflight magazine telling me what I could look forward to, whilst forcing me to watch a Woody Allen film on the main screen.).

However, we’re talking about charter flights of less than 5 hours, and I don’t see how PTV’s can be justified for that expense.

Wys asked about PTV’s on BA flights, I don’t think they have any PTV’s in World Traveller on anything but their 747 and 777 fleets, certainly the 767’s it was decided not to bother installing PTV in’s WT, although they are there in Club World.

The new batch of Airbus aircraft (ie not the orignal 4 A320-100’s and 5 (I think?) A320-200’s that were relics from B-Cal) have the LCD screens every four or 5 rows, though, so you may get IFE on those.

the 319’s use them, as do British Mediterranean’s Franchise A321’s (although I haven’t been on a BA A321).
