All the short/medium haul fleet seats are in the process of being replaced with high quality natural leather seats from Recaro ...
.. are the sames wich LH is upgrading it's fleet , but for sure someone will post here that the LH are better than IB's ones ...
Ahh , yes ... the LH have the stupid IFE installed while IB don't considers , as I and most Spanish travellers , IFE in short/medium haul of any interest .
In any case LH is going to charge you for this spudid IFE with stupid programs a lot of money .... .
Did you know that except for the news bulletin , i don't see TV ?
Did you know the last time I went to the cinema to see a hollywood film was in 1999 for Matrix ?
The anglo-saxons are a much more "multimedia" culture than ours . Most young people cannot pass the time without a mp3 players , a walkman or some kind of stupid multimedia entertainment system.
What do you see at IB planes ? Newspapers ..lots of them .. and some books .
I still remeber the critics to IB for been reluctant to install broadband on board .. well , this last days Boeing and American Airlines has prescinded of Conexion .. apparently IB was right ... but nobody is going to recognize it .. .
When i board a plane I want CALM .. not IFE's, not mobile phones .. NOT the typical english teenager with the mp3 player all the way .
