Here's what Qatar's CEO says about IFE

ah rouge and new 739 on ua don't have seatback ife but streaming ife on your device. this is not a claw back. this was done because everyone in n america is travelling with at least a laptop or ipad or two of each. it's a totally different market.

btw you should see the 747s UA deploys on long haul routes..........

the tia/welcome to africa comment refers to how things are not as precise or efficient or with the times as we're used to n america. like my upcoming daytime cptgbeadd on an et 738. but i have a stack of books i need to demolish so it's cool for me.

i'll prob do my first ever trip report regarding this journey.
