  • Longest Flight Without Onboard Entertainment

    Nowadays, many airlines spends millions to upgrade their aircraft with Personal TV and entertainment system.

    But some of them do nothing on it, how would you use up dozen of hours in the flight without watching movies or playing video games ?

      it's was with P-TV but the only Chaneel was Inflight Info!!!
      It was the 2nd flight to this plane! One Day Old plane!

      BTW I feel planes without P-Tv or Audio is better, I don't know why!

          I'm with ptbodale, on long flights I use the opportunity to catch up on my reading. What I especially like to do is read a book about the particular airliner that I'm on during the flight... eg. read "Inside the Airbus A340" while actually on an A340 - weird I guess

            Because I end up travelling commuter routes alot I have invested in a pair of Niose reducing headphones. and either my MP3-CD player or my laptop with an extra battery. This usually suffices. You know I wish that Airlines like Delta would at least fly jets that have inflight entertainment between their hubs, in addition to their long hual flights. I hated flying SLC to CVG in the MD-80 there was nothing to do but sit there. Of course I was in the last row so I had like no view and I could not recline becuase of the wall behind me!

                When I flew on a USAF C-5 from Germany-Dover AFB (8 hours) there was no entertainment, and no real windows to look out of either...I just slept for most of the flight, and when I was awake I read some from a few books that I had brought along.

                  13ish hours, Auckland to LA, entertainment system broken. Fun!
                  I walked across an empty land
                  I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
                  I felt the earth beneath my feet
                  Sat by the river and it made me complete

                    Now that I have a laptop.. I'll be using that! If only I could track the flight while aboard.. that'd be sweet!

                    Do any airlines offer Internet while airborne?

                      Song offers the internet I think.

                      My longest was CHS-DFW.
                      I think PHX-CVG is DL's longest flight on a plane with no entertainment.

                        I was on SAN-STL on AA and it was on a MD-83 with no entertainment. That's about a 2.5 hour flight, I know that's not too long but that's the longest flight I've been on without it. NW probably has the longest Domestic flight w/o IFE.

                          Lufthansa currently has one 747-400 equipped with Connexion by Boeing, but they want to introduce it on the entire longhaul fleet. AA, DL and UA were expected to be launching that program, but after 9-11 they didn't have the money to afford it. Maybe Delta might start Connexion in the foreseeable future, but for the time being, if you want longhaul internet, fly Lufthansa.
