Britannia Question

Just add my two penneth – BY are still definitely free. Flew with them only a few weeks ago and the headphones were there ready for me.:)

Thanks guys everytime id been with BY before they had been free I was just wondering as they charge for meals and all that kind of stuff now.

MyTravel now charge £1.50 for a set of headphones.

I flew on a Britannia 763 to Palma in may and nobody paid a penny for headphones or IFE:D . Ican’t see that things have changed.

The whole IFE thing is free on Monarch Scheduled, including the headphones.

On United they do not charge for headphones.

United isn’t a charter airline though. Many scheduled carriers do issue them for free but will want them back. If you pay on a charter airline, they are yours to keep. But United are great!

£2.50 now A330.

Last I heard BY were free, but im going on my last experiance with BY, back in 2001.

AIH used to charge £5 for a set of headphones, not sure what the charge now?

On United they do not charge for headphones.

Sorry, yes they do charge for headphones as T5 said. I was thinking that PTVs on a charter flight was a little too good to be true. 😉

Sorry if I didnt make it clear Saab by in flight entertainment I did mean headphones.

They charge for the use of a television and radios? I know you have to pay for headphones, is that what you mean?

Saab,
When I flew on MyTravel and Thomas Cook in February they charged as did Monarch when I flew with them a few years ago.

I don’t believe any airline charges for in-flight entertainment except for a few select carriers such as JetBlue. If it is a charter flight then no doubt it will be free and you will be treated to an array of old British repeats 🙂

Charge for entertainment?

They will no doubt charge you about £3 for a set of headphones, but I would have thought that was it.
