How many qantas B738s have seat-back entertainment?

[Felix Harvey]

I flew from MEL-ASP on a 738 and had the new seat-back entertainment. On the way back however, none. I was just wondering how many of the Qantas fleet have them and what routes they are most common on.

My guess would be the longer flights. E.g trans-tasman, MEL-PER and SYD-PER.

Thank You,
Felix

20, slowly on the increase.

IIRC correctly it's about a 3rd of the 738 fleet

As I posted in another thread earlier today, Qantas operate 23 with AVOD, soon to be 24. Jetconnect operate 8 with AVOD - that makes 31 and soon the be 32 in total.

There are 38 without AVOD. So that means out of the soon to be 62 73H's operating domestically you have a near 40% chance of getting one with AVOD.

So how many of the domestic 738s have AVOD now?
QFlyer hasn't been updated in a long time - is there an up to date list somewhere?

Qantas recently began operations with their 23rd AVOD equipped 73H (VH-XZJ).

This thread gives a clue:

You can see what they've used each day QF790 / QFA790 Live flight info - Flightradar24

I don't have a list to hand of which are BSI and which aren't BSI but have AVOD, but a few posts on the net suggest VZL VZM VZO VZP VZR VZS have AVOD, and from VZT onwards to VZZ, and then XZA onwards are BSI with AVOD. You basically have a 16 in 54 chance of scoring one.
...

VH-XZJ began service 15th November, VH-XZK's entry into service is imminent.

So, currently that leaves the 21 VXA-VXU, 12 VYA-VYL & 5 VZA-VZE totalling 38 without AVOD and the 13 VZL-VZM,VZO-VZP,VZR-VZZ & 10 XZA-XZJ totalling 23 (soon to be 24) with AVOD.
