Me and my family went on a family trip to russia.
We chose to fly with Aeroflot.
This is around 5hours flight.

Unfortunately, my IFE (entertainment system) didn't work.
I called the flight attendant and explain to her the situation.
She than restart the IFE which unfortunately also didn't help.
She also didn't move me to other seat since the flight was fully booked and i stayied the rest of the flight without the IFE.
Another family member of ours had an IFE that isn't working.

I videotaped everything (that the IFE doesn't work, i try to press on the screen and remote and nothing happens, the seat number and row etc...).

I than sent this information to Aeroflot customer service.
This was their answer after 30 days!!!!!!

This was their answer:

That was my response:
Hi Aik,

Firstly, thank you for getting back to me (although it did take tremendous amount of time).

I am so delight to hear that your companies takes this meter seriously and went trough the trouble of going over documentation regarding this seat IFE.

Never the less, it is highly disappointed to hear that your company employs unprofessional employees.
Not only did the technical department failed to find the IFE fault, but also the technician that filed the documentation after the flight even i spite the fact i reported about the problem?

Asa software engineer in a big corporate high tech company, i fly a lot (mostly with star alliance).
Therefor i know how to operate the IFE, never the less, i did record a video clip of the non working IFE so you could make sure
i am not doing anything wrong.
You can watch the 2 movie clips with the documentation of the seat with the IFE trough my google drive here.

Also,in case you think it is a mistake, i would love to upload the video clips along side your delightful answer to FlyerTalk to consult my fellow frequent flyers friends regarding this issue.

Thank you for your time,
I hope your next answer won't take another month.

Dear Mr. Ginzberg,

Thank you for you response.
Provided by you information was forwarded to the Technical Department of PJSC “Aeroflot”. Please be informed, that anyway there is no documentary evidence of the malfunction, at this moment the system is working correctly. Thus, viewing the video materials would not change our decision.
So in this case, we consider further correspondence inappropriate.
We hope for your understanding.
