Flew FRA-EWR on November 27th in economy. We had 42A, B, and C and I thought I would share a few notes:

• The IFE was painfully, maddeningly slow. For instance, when applying a filter to the movie list (English language movies), it took well over 60 seconds. Sometimes, when selecting a movie to play, it wouldn't start for more than a minute. I saw several passengers give up and resort to their personal devices.
  • Bring your two prong adapter for the headphones.
• Food and beverage service did the front economy section first from front to back, then did the rear section from rear to front.
  • No choice for main course, we were all served a veggie lasagna.
  • I saw a couple passengers request a second alcoholic beverage and they were denied, sounded like it was corporate policy.
• The flight crew was excellent, very professional.
