A321 IFE domestic?
Hey Guys, sadly its been a long time since I have been able to take a flight, however we have one upcoming and the aircraft has just recently changed to an A321.
Just a quick question, is IFE made available for domestic travel if we bring our own headphones?
Cheers

It was the last couple of times when I flew on them domstically, although the screen shows your name from your seat booking, when you try and log in with your Airpoints number and/or DOB (which obviously are correct) it locks you out after three attempts. It was the same with the people next to me as well who couldn't log in either - doesn't stop you from viewing the IFE though. I didn't bother asking a FA to check it out, they are busy enough on the short domestic flights as it is.

Yes if it's an A320neo, A321neo or one of the international configured A320s (can spot the intl configured a320's as they have 1D, 1E and 1F whilst the domestic don't) then IFE is enabled for the flight although you must bring your own headphones (they don't provide them).
Inflight wifi is also enabled on the A320/1neos on domestic flights and is free as well.

Where available ...
IFE is on at start of boarding (except when safety video is playing), and switches off during taxi to terminal.
Wifi comes on after takeoff.

The best ones if when you get on of the special light numbers e.g. the NZ12XX and that flight number had been used in the past international. Had an few when its telling you your about to head some exotic. But then after take off the aircraft does the turn left from AKL, and hope of an tropical holiday is gone.

yes, BBB is in the middle of the US.
You are right, at about 2,000fr the aircraft system overrides the IFE and input the correct flight number. But the system cannot upload the profile of passengers anymore at this stage unfortunately
