In Flight Wi-Fi

This article doesn't contain any information regarding in-flight wi-fi as it pertains to the airlines. I have compiled information on what each airline is launching in the following link: http://dailymarauder.com/2008/05/09/in-flight-wi-fi-you%e2%80%99re-free-to-surf-the-friendly-skies/ In Flight Wi-Fi I think the chart is a quick and easy way to propose the information. 68.175.58.81 (talk) 10:41, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Needs re-doing

this article is very poorly written; it needs a total renovation and redo. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.221.81.98 (talk)

I would also recommend the transfer of the Personal Television section as a subsection of the video entertainment section. --58.69.182.65 02:25, 5 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Only airlines in the world without PTVs in economy

I have to disagree with PAL having no orders of PTVs in long-haul economy class flights. It has recently ordered 777-300ERs which feature AVOD in economy. It is even possible that it will refurbish its existing long haul aircraft with AVOD technology in economy too as what this link says: [1]

Howabout Aeroflot? Does it even have PTVs at least in economy or plan to fit them in future orders at all? --58.69.182.65 02:21, 5 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Innovative Systems

I've re-written the section, with a couple of focus points:

Removing loaded words such as "innovative" and "best-in-class"
Making sure that features present in traditional IFEs are not stated over and over again (like phones)--focusing of what's innovative about them.
Reduction of verbosity
Some incorrect information of Virgin's system
Cabin lighting can hardly be called part of the entertainment system (unless you're very easily amused)

- You might want to think twice about not anything related to Malaysia Airlines into this section... the Malaysian Wikipedians are already dead jealous and on the toes of this page by claiming non-identified sources etc! -le petit vagabond 15:21, 10 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  - Is there a Malaysia vs. Singapore feud I don't know about? LOL. --Dali-Llama 16:12, 10 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    - Nothing about that. Its just that, why these 3 systems are claimed to be the "next generation"? There are lots others worth to be mentioned. I personally believe, we do not need this section at all. --Zack2007
      - Of course, Malaysia Airline's inflight entertainment system should always be considered as one of the best, be it true or not. ;) -le petit vagabond 18:21, 10 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm okay with reducing the size of the article to just what's innovative about them (that's kind of what I tried to do), but I think it's important to point out how IFEs are evolving.--Dali-Llama 18:25, 10 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Oh please, Lepetitvagabond. There is nothing in Malaysia Airlines flight entertainment worth mentioning in it. I just felt that by just having 3 so-called next-generation IFE sounds a bit biased and sorta have a blanket advertisement for these 3 systems (it should be better for them to be mentioned in separate article, say their own article). Later there will be other newer IFE system other than these, and do we still need to add it is it? Jet Airways have come up with new IFE system. Should we add it? I really think, for the sake of NPOV, they should only be mention briefly in the other section, rather than having a so-called "examples" of next g IFE. --Zack2007 01:30, 11 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Start Class Rationale

As per WP:Aviation Assessment criteria, I have listed this article as "Start-Class" for having at least "one subheading which fully treats that subject." I have not assigned it B-Class due to its prose and extensive use of hierarchical structure when not needed. Codharris (talk) 00:01, 4 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
