Even with ads, its relatively short especially on movies. On TV series, it starts right off. CX's ad is tolerable whereas on SQ's Krisworld, its downright annoying !

Is it? I was on CX711 from HKG - SIN in J class on regional biz class seats (B772) yesterday (2 Feb). I was watching the movie "Gravity" and there was around 2 minutes of ad before the movie starts.

You all know you can fast forward the ads right?
I always see people on the plane sitting through the 2mins of ads every time they start a movie. No one tried to fast forward.

One thing for sure is that they dont have the CFG ad anymore after the safety demo.

Of course!

Mine was new regional J class and movie contents was for Feb 2014 as well. Maybe it is different aircraft type, resulting into different AVOD settings?

I can understand why CX does ads in Y but it just feels cheap doing it in J/F, especially a long haul premium cabin where tickets sell for $10k/$20k return full fare.
Though to be fair, SQ and LH does it in their long haul F cabins too.
Ironically, I don't think United has ads in the beginning of their AVOD movies in their J seats. However, I'll take the ads and fly CX/SQ/LH first any day.
