Ok, I just got back from a really, really short trip to Vegas (trip report coming soon), and it was long boring flights, both ways.
My question is, how can I tell, or who do I ask, before i purchase the tickets, if there will be a movie on my flight.
Now I know the movie screen is a small on, and I know some of the seats stink for watching the movie too. I hate the cheapo head phones and all that. But truth be told, it helps the flights time pass quicker for me. (I can't sleep on an airplane!)
Is there a code I should look for when reserving a flight. Like on expedia, is there a special search for items like that? Can/do they know what plans show movise and which don't?
Thanks for any help or input on this subject in advance.

Hi Lee,
I'll bet someone can tell you a better way to do this, but...I go to the individual airline websites and through Flight Search or Flight Information I find my flight number and then choose to see details for that flight. I mostly use this to see what kind of aircraft a particular flight uses, I do not like smaller planes so I try to avoid them. Unfortunately, I can't tell you if you can do this from Expedia. I did find out my flight tonight has a movie on the ATL to LAS leg by getting the flight details from the Delta website. Now if I only knew what movie it will be.

Talk to you when I return and I certainly hope I helped you a little.

Lee, All you have to do is move to Nevada,
and you won't have to worry about what movie
is on the flight (vbg).

Patty,
You helped a little!
Now the last time I was on AA's site, they listed the movies that where playing in each direction you travel. But I haven't been there lately and even in there in-flight magazine, it doesn't mention any movies at all.

Dick,
I noticed a little smile when you said that! But every trip I think "boy, wouldn't it be nice to live in LV".
Of course, my liver probably wouldn't last too long! LOL

Hi Lee, I called National before our trip asking what movie would be shown on our flights, they were kind enough to tell me the titles and cast [img]http://www.talkvegas.com/ubb/wink.gif[/img],the only problem was there was no audio or video on either plane [img]http://www.talkvegas.com/ubb/frown.gif[/img]. So we just relaxed and enjoyed the service in first class with the $90.00 upgrade.
