AVOD Not Working
Anyone else ever have an issue with AVOD not working on their flight? Did you request anything from CO after the completion of the flight?
I was on CO23 yesterday from DUB to EWR (about 8 hours flying time) and the system did not work for the duration of the flight (reset was performed twice, system would just freeze after a minute of loading up).
Even worse, someone had already completed the Sudoku in my copy of Hemispheres!

I would write it in, just don't expect much. CO's service recovery is pretty poor.

Next time - see if they have skykits.
This is a good thing from UA (and hopefully, CO has adopted it as well).

I flew on a CO 777 right before Thanksgiving IAH to LHR and they couldn't get the AVOD to work until we were literally half way over the Atlantic. To the flight crew's credit, they did not stop trying to make it work.

If you really flew a CO 757 from IAH to LHR, the bigger concern would be keeping the engines running when the fuel was exhausted.

CO 82 DEL-EWR 18 Dec
AVOD did not work in Business First throughout the flight--worked in Economy. The Purser or Service Director said she was not going to report it for us to get compensation and that I should go to either the UA-or CO website (she was not sure). She too tried to work on it inflight but it was not reported on the ground. No Skykits or anything similar were available. If I write to 1K Voice do you think they would respond? Happy Holidays

Non functioning AVOD on CO in 2008 MXP-EWR in BF
(Also had a 4hr MX awaiting on the same flight.. so not exactly a clean data point)
response: $250 cert after writing to CO.
