Is this route retrofitted? If not which flight has the best AVOD? I am told to avoid the 777-200ER for this. It looks like there are 3 variations of the 772. Which should I choose for the best AVOD?

The plane I was on 6 weeks ago wan't retrofitted.
If business class is 2-3-2 then it hasn't been refitted. If it's 2-2-2 then it has.
I can't comment on the AVOD as I slept the whole time.

Its such a short flight that it doesn't matter much anyway.
Its only a 2 class 772 aircraft but as its not the 772ER, it doesn't have the full functionality of Wiseman. So most of the flights have the general Krisworld programme only.

Bangkok gets all the 772 types, the older 2-3-2, the retrofitted 2-2-2 and the SV series 2-2-2. Check the business seatmap using KVS/EF to find out which one you have. You want to avoid the 2-3-2.

Sadly, that is such an industry/product manager view. If you really took the customer view into account, AVOD matters all the more for a short flight as it gives the customer control over what to watch during the limited time.

Thats so true. If AVOD matters than on the shorter flights. I wasnt aware that the very old IFE is still existing until I recently was flying on the old 777-200 to MNL. I just missed the first video loop by 15 mins and I was stuck until the next loop eventually started. But than I couldnt finish the movie :td:
But its really hard to establish which aircraft is really serving your flight. I would assume that the SIN-BKK sees a lot of equipment changes.

Having just flown SIN-BKK as a customer not a product manager (in Y), I can really see how many pax wouldn't think it matters that much, particularly on SQ where the systems is turned off 25-30 mins prior to landing. Lucky to have an hour with the system on (and last time I flew with AVOD on this sector it really made very little difference to my journey). SIN-MNL is a different kettle of fish - it is long enough to desire AVOD.

If its the true AVOD you can watch the first half of the movie on your first sector and the second half on return. Thats what I do and appreciate that its possible. On the 4 hour MNL run you wont have any movie if you miss the first start of the video loop and you can not finish the second loop because of SQ "Kiasuism" turning the IFE down earliest possible. Sometimes I wonder why they bother to turn it on at all.
