American Plane Types

[NW Pacific]

Have looked but could not decipher info I was looking for.

 

Flying FC PDX-FLL on type S80 and 738

 

Are there any movie options on either on these planes?

 

Thanks for you in the know how

Nothing on the MD-80s (S80) and maybe an overhead movie on the 738 (737-800) - it will depend on the segment length. Is it PDX-DFW-FLL?

The DFW-FLL segment will only be about 2:30, after the usual other announcements. Seriously doubt there will be a movie. Maybe some TV shorts or similar.

Even though you're in First Class, there's no IFE on the MD-80 . The 737 has overhead LCD screens that pivot down from the overhead in the reading light areas, every 2-3 rows.

The newest 737's are being delivered with AVOD systems and individual screens. Older 737's will be retrofitted- I think that has started.
