If the seat configuration shows 16 lie-flat seats in First, it'll be on-demand movies, music etc w/ individual monitors. If it shows 24 seats in First, it'll drop-down CRT monitors every few rows with a movie and some TV situation comedy reruns. Hope for the former!

Wow. In 752.5 hours I think you'll be able to go through every movie, tv show, etc. a couple of times. I'd bring a good book as well.

The movie is free.

On the PMCO aircraft you have to pay to watch Jerry Springer reruns

MCO-LAX 752 flights are operated by CO, thus they have on-demand movies/tv/audio/games/etc free in both cabins.

What's the flight #?
If it falls between 1-199, & 100-1799 etc it will be a 16/153 757 with AVOD,
If it falls between 200-999 it will be a 24/158 757 with CRT monitors hanging from the ceiling.

There are no CO 752s flying between MCO - LAX.

Not on the sCO 752, which is the aircraft in question.

I just looked at the number of seats in each cabin, which indicate it's the CO config.

Bizarre. I only see sUA 752's on the route and I'm looking at the system directly.

The flight numbers are also sUA - I think you are correct.

So is all IFE on all CO and UA flights now free? When I flew last December there was a cost in coach for watching the individual TVs.

Virgin America is about the same price MCO-LAX and they have free direct tv. I have my premier platinum so I can get PE, but 5 hours and no AVOD is a pain!

Weighing up, PE with VA or first with UA.

The UA flight number is 695.

Okay then you will be on the 24/158 version of the 757 which will have the CRTs hanging from the ceiling every few rows or so. Sulley posted a pic of what it looks like a few posts up.
