In Seat Video La P
I'm looking at my next leisure flight to the States and see on the ITA Matrix that AF has a symbol for "In seat video player" on the 380 in La P. which none of the other airlines seem to show. Last time I went on the 380 La P. it was a simple pop up from the seat small screen. Have they changed in the last 12 months? or is it simply the Matrix adding something?
I'm not that bothered about in flight entertainment but certainly interested in what that symbol actually means.

F seats on A380 are old generation. The small video screen is stored in the end of the armrest and retracts. That might be the reason for the term used.
All new seats have a large screen that is part of the front of the seat . It can usually be moved but is not retractable into the seat. Note that the new F seat has a much larger screen but it is very far from seat.

I do remember a while ago that BA gave F pax a DVD player to use on their flights as their screens and systems were so out dated. Wondered if AF were doing the same sort of thing.

While you will miss the curtains, I don't think the A380 P seat is bad at all. I can sleep fine on it which is the part that counts the most.
