Maybe I was asleep over Xmas and missed the advertising, but last weekend I flew to the US and found Qantas have upgraded the software on the AVOD! There's now video on demand, CDs on demand, more games etc. There are about 20 premiere movies, about the same number 'encore' movies (think "Shawshank Redemption"), and about the same number again for alternative, Australian etc combined.

It was just fantastic to watch what I wanted, when I wanted. If I didn't like a movie, I just started another one instead of waiting 2.5 hours. When I woke up I could switch on the tele and start watching something.

There was a note in the magazine that during January this wouldn't be available to Economy passengers, which implies it will be available in the back of the bus soon.

Bravo Qantas!
