No wonder its on sale- these rotues are being operated by the 763 leased from TUI's dutch arm- akrefly or something

Yup - but the business class on that aircraft now has a 70" seat pitch with personal DVD players. They *claim* all other elements of the service will remain the same.

The sting in the tail is that Y has been increased to 33", PE has been decreased to 35". Lot of unhappy people, I'd guess...



(It's Arkefly)

Here are the full details from BMI - it also affects LAS flights...

No in-seat power, either.

And no IFE in these classes [:(] - hence the DVD players (fighting for table space with food etc) in biz.

Well, there IS IFE - but it's more old-style (ala United Trans-con) rolling tape with central TV monitors down the aisles.

No different to Air Canada's Y product across the water, I guess.

sorry, I stand corrected!

I meant to type "seatback IFE" - doh !!

Or for that matter BA's 767s that operate to places like JFK from MAN, BWI, NAS etc.
