I only go to Europe every few years, and usually just fly with whatever airline is cheapest/most convenient for me.

In the past I have flown with Continental, American, and Air France. The Continental aircraft I was in 8 years ago was more up to date than UA's 767-300. I remember there being a 6-8" touch screen in coach and you could select what you wanted. My recent flight with United had a screen that was the size of a game boy and you could only select channels with movies and shows that had already started.

Has anyone else noticed this? Are all UA Europe flights this outdated?
Try flying AA's 767-300, the ultimate example of outdated planes. No PTV's not even in business, only the overhead screens in the aisles. Not only that, AA installed newer overhead bins only in the front half of the plane, leaving the older style ones in the back.

UA 767 > AA 767
