Ahh right, have to catch myself. In my mind I just think IFE = AVOD. Once you get spoiled with AVOD I find never watch old IFE systems anymore.

So you get a free upgrade and then ask for compensation ? amazing no wonder the airlines are in so much trouble with passengers like you creaming every penny they can. Airlines promise to fly you from A to B not keep you entertained

No - he used miles to pay for his upgrade. Please at least make an effort to read before you launch into your cynical grumpy old man with more money than he knows what to do with act.

If the IFE isn't working, they should make an attempt to solve it the best of their abilities. Usually in semi filled flights, this is not an issue. Either ways, the OP certainly has something to gripe about, especially on such a long journey, regardless of whether he was upgraded to J or was a paying J pax.

Thank you for all your valuable responses. I'm not a frequent flyer, but certainly you guys helped. I'm going to write a letter to them and use some photos my trip report as proof.
To the poster above somewhere: It's not free upgrade, it's miles upgrade. Nad I'm not those people nick picking about everything. That's why it took a month until my friend told me to compensate. If I didn't tell him about my trip, I wouldn't even bother. Which is also why the FA did not file a report...because I didn't want to bother anymore after 3 attempts. I hate being annoyed...
