IFE System Qantas A380

[Madz]

Hi Guys,

I've applied for an upgrade to Premium Economy for my upcoming flight to LA. Having only been in economy before, I have only experienced the screens on the back of the chair in front. Apparently in PE these come out of the armrest? Does that mean you are constantly looking down? Wouldn't this hurt your neck?

Probably a silly question, but worth asking =)

Cheers

It's a little different, but it certainly doesn't hurt your neck or anything.

TBH I found the armrest entertainment in 80A a little annoying (bit of neck pain) but no problem at all in Y+.

If you are tall it is a bit annoying, but wouldn't let that be a reason not to upgrade. Good luck with the upgrade lottery.

I'm 6'5", didn't find it annoying.

Upon further thought I remember trying to get the "perfect" angle when first getting it out of the armrest, but really after 5 minutes I forgot about it and enjoyed the fantastic Y+ product

Should be no problem finding a angle to suit yourself, certainly haven't had any neck issues from the TV.

MrsB's AVOD did not work in Y+ on A380 SYD-LHR. No compensation, just more Croser fiz.
Then the IFE failed on BA's BKK-SYD return sector. All passengers received BA vouchers as compensation. And as in CW, more Tattinger.
I find the QF Y+ seat good, but it gets uncomfortable after about 8 hours.

I hope you wrote to QF about the lack of IFE...

Yes, I completed the feedback email & received the sympathetic standard response back.
I also added compliments for the FA and Captain (SYD-SIN) - both excellent.

Personally, I'd push them for compensation.

Not going to get $4,000 (more?) out of me and not provide IFE on a solid 24 hour journey without providing some sort of compensation. Not being stingy or anything, but IFE is an integral part of the product. If I don't get it I would want to be compensated.
