IFE

We fly from LGW to MCO on 7/11/08 on flight VS027 - is there any way of finding out what IFE system we will have? Last time we went we didn't have the games and the kids really want to know what there'll be this time!

Thanks

Nikki.

Welcome to V-flyer

There really is no way of knowing which IFE system will be on your flight, other than it will be either Nova+ or Odyssey. After that it will really be up to whatever plane is assigned to that route. This information is not released beforehand for security purposes and indeed there may be last minute aircraft changes for a variety of reasons

Welcome to V-Flyer

At the risk of stating the obvious, it will depend which aircraft you are on.

Details of the IFE for each plane in the Virgin fleet can be found here.

The chances are that, unless you are very lucky, you will get one of the Gatwick fleet, but for security reasons, VS don't release details of exactly which plane you will be on before you fly.

First time I've beaten you to it! [|:)]

At the moment it's showing as beig one of the NOVA a/c for VS 27 on 07/11 as capacity in Y is 379 (Instead of 380 as with the Odyssey a/c)
Of course this could change nearer the time due to operational reasons.

The seat map in the 'manage my booking' section of the VS site should also give you an idea of which a/c type you are currently scheduled to be on (and if it changes). The small Economy behind the PE downstairs cabin is only 2 rows on the a/c fitted with Nova IFE (LIP/GAL/ROY/ROM/ROS) where as it is 4 rows on the Odyseey IFE a/c (AST/TOP/XLG).

Hi Tom,

Check your seat map on the VS website for your booking. As Neil explains, if you look at the first few rows of Economy you can figure out if you are (currently!) on a Nova or Odyssey aircraft. Odyssey has games whereas Nova does not.

Thanks,
Sarah

Thanks very much sarah = ]

It's showing as a NOVA a/c at the moment.

Hi I just checked my flight for Vegas on the 17th Nov, i can see 3 rows (21,22,23) there are 2 rows on the left hand side, is that the 2 (or 4) rows your talking about?

That would be the 2 rows. In the middle 4 seats there are 3 rows but on each side there are only 2. If you have a look in the seat maps page then you will see the 2 different LGW/MAN configs. You can then have a look in the aircraft databasep section to see which a/c has which config/IFE system.

Nice tip, thanks Neil [y]

SH*T

Using the info here I have looked at my Honeymoon Booking and it looks like I have the P*O IFE Both out and in.

I wish VIRGIN would Update the IFE or Replace these Frames completly. It is annoying to pay for PE and get 'CHAV' IFE.

Come on Virgin.... Its my Honeymoon.... Odyssey (Or V-PORT) Aircraft PLEASE.....
