AER LINGUS IFE {A330's}???

[mattbartlett]

I'm after a little help. I'm flying on EI 111 from LHR-SNN-JFK in August and returning EI 108 JFK-DUB-LHR. Having travelled with EI last April and enjoying the flight immensely my route was BHX-DUB-LAX-DUB-BHX. On these flights we had Individual IFE {on the A330's transatlantic EI-LAX I believe} However it has come to my attention that it is largely hit and miss whether you get the same on other EI flights. Could anybody out there let me know which EI 330's {200 or 300} have this. I have bee told that EI-CRK does not have individual IFE. Any more help/news on whether more have been installed?

EI-DAA (a A330-200) is the only Aer Lingus aircraft with PTV's in all cabins. The rest of the A330's have PTV's in Premier only.

(I'm sorry for saying EI-LAX)

Thanks for the info. I guess I was lucky last year on the DUB-LAX flight then. I don't usually fly EI. However, the fare was too good to pass on. I tend to fly AA transatlantic LHR-JFK unless I can get CO27/33 BHX-EWR for the right price {BHX being 15 minutes from my home} Although I do wish CO would consider using a 767-424 or better still a 777-224 on this route.

From what I know, its not much. I think about 3 movies are shown at one time.

Also, there is a good chance that you will be on a A330-300 from DUB-JFK, so there is small chance for the PTV's. EI-DAA is usually on the LAX run because it's the longest route, and Aer Lingus needs a plane that can travel far distances .
