Does the planes with tv'S have cable?

Me an my DH are going to Rome and Romeania on our next trip an want to fly the Boing 575 the one with tv'S fore each person. I have heard about Jet's Blues that have cable. But Jet's Blues dont fly to Romeania. our flight this Summer was on a BM11 plane with a screen in the middle and 3 color light bulbs to make the picture (i Know- old school!!). This way we could watch the travel cannel to get ready for our trip while we are on the way!! So whitch ones has the cable tv'S for each seat. Takk u!!

Boing 575? Gee, this must be the latest since the A380 came out. I don't know if they're equipped with cable, but the passengers may have some cable ties handy.

Hi BnB,

There is a device with buttons on it that is attached to the arm of the seat by a cable.

As best I know, this is the cable channel.

Takk u!! I think it is a new one since it is a jet. We will look for the AE80's if the other's are not available. It is just so boaring on this long flights. DH says we should do the "sky high " club but I told him it costs too much to get in!! So we are hoping for Cinemax and the Travel (vegas!!) chanel at least on our next flights to make the time pass while we are getting exited to see Trankilvania and Chunqy Terrar. Can we do a day trip between the two or is that ?? for a new string??

BillynBetty; maybe you should try Sky High Airlines (www.skyhighairlines.com). It sounds like something they would offer.

I believe that's Mile High Club and it doesn't cost a thing!

Takk u!! Toolips. I looked at the sky High's Air netsight but they dont fly to Rome or Romeannia but we will keep them in mind in the future. We want some thing with free cable tv'S at each seat that goes to these places. Suze-we'll check the mile high club if it is free. Our last one was this Summer to the Scandinavio so I dont know if we have enough for a "Mile Hi Club". I know you say its free but we dont do enough for "miles" to get in. I have heard of doin these mileage runups like quickys in the next town and back to get extra mileages so maybe that would work. Elain-I think you have the wrong string. You want the ones with the cutesy trip rapport titles.

The last plane I flew had a great on board entertainment computer. DH could play games and I could pick my film. It didn't matter how many miles high we were.

Billy, before you get on the plane, see if there is a cable attached. If yes, you'll have your travel channel.

If not, complain to your senator! According to the new legislation all planes must have a cable for staying in touch with the Earth. If they fly too far the mechanics pull that cable.
