United has standard PTVs in business and first class on its B747s. None in economy--at least not yet.

Never been on a 777, unfortunately. Hope to remedy that soon.
Jump to postA poll:
Which widebody would you rather fly on for 13+ hours?
762? 763? 744? 773? 772? 345? 343?
Assume that the services on the different aircraft are identical (and pretty decent).
I thought the Wisemen 3000 was the AVOD system, and they just call any IFE KrisWorld.
Jump to postHas anyone flown it or heard anything about it? It's on a 777. Is it the 772? 773? AVOD? Any input would be fantastic.

Jump to postI'm planning to check out Seoul soon. Anyone been there? I'd appreciate a few tips. Also, I have a few questions: (1) How long should I stay there? (2) What tour company offers the best tours to Panmunjeom (the DMZ village)? (3) What are some things to check out while there? (4) Any other pointers?

Jump to postHas anyone seen the movie trailer for "Flightplan" (2005)? It's a new supernatural thriller starring Jodie Foster.

Jump to postSo the Cathay deal seems like a better deal than the Star deal. At least CX will get me from the States to Asia! (Although I wouldn't get FF miles for it.) Hmm.
Jump to postDoes anyone know anything about the Star Alliance Asian Airpass? Like how much it costs? Where I can buy it, etc.?

Jump to postThere's an article in tomorrow's (Apr. 9th) San Francisco Chronicle about the delayed launch of Virgin America.

Jump to postAEroc--I don't want to get on the first flight, though. I want the later flight.
Should I just give the airline a ring on the day of flight?
And when does the day of flight begin? 12:00am in the departure city? Or what?
I have a few questions about flying standby. I have a flight coming up in a few days with a fairly lengthy stopover. I could've booked a ticket that included a later departure for the first segment (and thus a shorter stopover) but that would've been a bit more money that I can afford. I would like ...
