It's certainly an eye-opener for me using a wider range of Oneworld airlines than I ever have before and with CX, QF, AA and some more QR flights coming up, the comparisons on this and other features of the product will certainly be interesting.
The Thales system is a massive improvement over the older systems, its puts BA on a par with the screens of other Airlines
Content-wise, whilst again a big step up, it still doesn't offer close to what other airlines can manage though, it does seem like a missed trick, although surely with modern systems you'd hope it is just a question of lashing in a bigger hard drive at some point in the future.
