When are you looking to travel?

Bear in ming that the Vegas service is out of Gatwick and the LA service is out of LHR - if you are returning from New York, you will fly back into Heathrow.

If you want the better planes, you are besy going out of and back into Heathrow.

Look at the which aircraft section of the site
the-toolbox/which-aircraft

This will tell you which aircraft have been used on which route, but in a nutshell. Heathrow gets the planes with the best IFE

Welcome to V-Flyer :)

As already mentioned, LHR is the route to fly on to get he better IFE/cabins.

Don't forget though that 5 of the LHR 343's still only have Odyssey and after my recent experience last week flying both ways on G-VSEA, Odyssey was pitiful on this A/C as you couldn't even watch several of the channels.

LA flights are usually either 744 or 346 A/C so that route should be OK though.
