Some months ago, I downloaded the VA entertainment app. Keen to try it I asked on board my very next flight how I do that, only to be told just plane is fitted with the system.

Can I please ask when this ife is planned to go live across the fleet (or even part of the fleet)?
 
Had that plane this morning. YID??? Its a BSI THE CONTENT WAS GOOD, heaps of movies, music Tv etc and speed was fast. No problems at all on the iphone ( would have brought the ipad if i knew it would have had wifi). After trying it i say bring it on. Just might want to think about some kind of charging device though. Ok on short haul but smaller devices might struggle with battery drain
 
Been on VH-YID once.

It happily streamed audio but no luck with video...it just kept thinking and thinking and...others had the same issue.
 
Damnit. I have app downloaded and ready to go and can never sang this plane!

Whoever gets it next should do a full review!
 
OK, thanks to all. We now know a bit about it, but I wonder if we'll get an answer to the when for all question?

Also, as I don't avidly read plane regos before boarding, how do we know it's available? Does the CS announce it?

This is in the seat pockets.

Oh great.......I don't have a seat pocket fetish either! Hardly ever look in them, just occasionally whip out the in-flight mag when a newie lands! No announcement, then?

There's an announcement. And If I remember correctly there are signs on the plane

I got an SMS the day before telling me my aircraft would be equipped - so you have warning to download the app. As it happens there was an aircraft change and we got an old live 2 air old paintwork plane. But we did get YID on the return journey but no warning SMS.

Why am I not surprised. The thought is there but the implementation stumbles......who says VA aren't consistent?

Same experience as me about a month ago
 
Worked perfectly today. Obviously something has been changed / FIXED
 
I think I have flown on YID.... but there's no wi fi access... When did YID get it? I flew on it in early March.
