Does anyone know what films will be showing on Odyssey equipped planes in June? I'm travelling LHR-ORD.

Thanks.

Welcome to V-Flyer

The May selection was :

Westbound

The Young Victoria
Milk
Mall Cop
Valkyrie
Hotel for Dogs
Bride wars
Bolt
Slumdog Millionaire
The Spirit
Cadillac Records
Revolutionary Road.
Role Models

East Bound

Lesbian Vampire Killers
Two Lovers
Gran Torino
Notorious
He's Just Not That Into You
Traitor
Marley and Me
Frost / Nixon
Yes Man
Seven Pounds
Bedtime Stories
Inkheart.

I would think June's will be the majority of the above, with some of the older ones being replaced by some of the new V-Port films listed here.

And you never know you might be on G-VSUN and have V-Port!

Well that would be nice! Slim chance though...

On that subject, why is it that G-VSUN has V-Port, but none of the other A340-300s do?

Thanks for the info!

G-VSUN was being used by Virgin Nigeria for a while and was fitted with the old J2000 business class seats, so when it returned (and after a period operating the BOM/LOS routes in its old config) it needed to go for a major refit to get the UCS and the new PE seats so they installed V-Port at the same time (it had the old Arcadia IFE system on board still which was worse than Nova!).

Going to be going from LHR-ORD in October so hoping for VSUN then! I guess a 1 in 5 chance isn't too bad.

Trip was good thanks, quite busy both ways. Would you believe we still had Mays movies and seat-back magazines, they hadn't had time to update the a/c!
I'm off to MCO on sat, s if it's on one of the three odyssey a/c will make a note of the films.

Anyone got an answer to this question yet? I'm flying on Thursday, and somewhat sadly like to look up reviews of the films beforehand so I can't decide what to watch!
