The replacement will be the wifi-streamed AVOD that's on the 747s (and A319/320s). But the indications are that United won't be taking that forward and it will be removed. United is expecting to install power on the entire fleet by - the pay for DirecTV came on some of the 737-800/900s from Continental. The downside (apart from lack of Android) is that they haven't yet installed the in seat power, so you'd be limited by the battery life of your device (about 5 hours for a iPAD mini). And the picture quality and bandwidth is excellent.

There's a huge selection of movies (157) and dozens of TV programs, including full series. It's not yet been fully announced as Android devices aren't yet supported but that shouldn't be long. However, they do now have wifi streamed AVOD to passengers' personal PCs and tablets. Just a quick note on other posts - the 747s don't have in seat video and will never get them, as the planes are due for retirement from 2018. No IFE on those at all though the flights are only about 1hr20 from Newark and less than 2 hours from Chicago. If you still prefer to take a tablet with your favorite moves/TV programs, those 757s also have in seat power.įlights to Manchester NH/MHT are operated by United Express and so are on regional jets or turbo props. the TV selection is okay but is very US centric (US sitcoms, documentaries, etc). It's free, and the selection is pretty good, especially movies. Those have full AVOD (audio video on demand) with in seat screens. If your flight is from Manchester UK/MAN to either Newark or Washington Dulles you'll be on a sCO 757-200.
