Anyone know which 737-800's have the satellite tv?
 

Flying on Thursday to Cincinnati from Portland, just wondering which planes were the one's that got upgraded with the satellite service according to FlyerTalk.com

Not getting my hopes up since it's not that big of a route but you never know.

I'm pretty sure it's the a/c with the code 73Y

Actually, it's 73H

The ones with humps on top of the fuselage ;)

So if it's identified as a 737-800 it's not a ship with PTV?

If the aircraft code is 738, then it's a regular old 738 with no PTVs.
If it's 73H, then it's a reconfigured 738 with PTVs.
If it's 73W, then it's the new 737-700s with PTVs.

Unfortunately, there is no way to tell in advance from the seatmaps anymore as non-AVOD 738s now also have the same 16F/144Y configuration as the AVOD-wingletted-737-800s.

I'm looking at my itin, and it simply says 737-800:
Given that it's a rather long flight, it would be nice if it was a PTV-equipped aircraft. The route used to be operated with an ex-Song 757, which was very comfortable, and just recently switched to a 738.

Unfortunately, it looks like DL1223 is a regular 738 with overhead/drop-down screens for IFE.. - it's denoted as a "738" in various reservation systems. An aircraft substitution could always happen, I suppose...

Thanks for the clarification all, I'm thinking it's just a regular old 737-800.

I was looking at flights JFK-LAX the other day, which are supposed to be all IFE planes. On the screen listing all flights, planes were either 757 or 737. I expected to see 757 or 73H, so perhaps they are not specifically noting the IFE planes anymore, at least on the DL website.

I am on a 737-800 from ATL-BGI in November...anyone know if that route has the AVODS?

I wonder if thats why flight 756 from Dallas to Atlanta is now a 737 instead of an MD80 or is Delta retiring the MD80s too, sorry I guess I just relalized this after booking a flight and checking flightaware for aircraft timeliness

Delta.com seems to have made a change in how it denotes these ships.

It used to refer to the AVOD birds as "73H" vs the "Boeing 737-800," which denoted non-AVOD. Now, "73H" seems to have become "Boeing 737..." and non-AVOD is still "Boeing 737-800."

It's confusing, and all the more reason to invest in a subscription to expertflyer. There, as ClipperDelta said, it's "73H," "738" and "73W."

It does not. I was on that route in August.

PDX-CVG will be a regular non-AVOD 737-800...

FYI, the 73H vs 738 vs 73W designation can be found with the downloadable-for-PC Delta timetable found on delta.com. The schedules in there not only list the various 737s, but also 752 (ex-TW/AA BE-equipped 757s) vs 757 (domestic 757s)...

Ok now I am totally confused as flight 756 DFW-ATL says M88 on the flight_schedule.pdf but 737-800 for november on the booking maybe they don't change the pdf that frequently

Do 767-400 have IFE in Coach? what about 767-300 ? This would be on domestic flights from ATL-MCO Would they have it turned off on short flights?

All of DL's widebodies have IFE (inflight entertainment) in coach. I think you're asking about the AVOD PTVs? The domestic non-ER 767-300s (those with 24 First seats) have AVOD PTVs at every seat.
As for the 767-400s, 7 of them are still in the domestic configuration (no AVOD PTVs in coach, only overhead monitors) but the other 14 reconfigured for international have AVOD PTVs at every seat. The 7 domestic ones will be converted to international this coming winter.
For ATL-MCO, they sometimes use internationally-configured 767-400s so you could get one with the AVOD PTVs (check the seat map - the int'l ones have 7 rows of 6 seats across in the Business Class cabin). The PTVs are turned on for domestic flights as well, but remember that since these are international birds, the "TV" option will have canned episodic TV shows instead of the "Live TV" option.

Thanks, it looks like that flight starts in Johansburg to Dakar to Atlanta to Orlando so I would see why the "Live TV option" would not be available on those planes

So if in Expert Flyer the flight says 73H, there is PTV/AVOD in Y? Specifically DL 107 JFK-SAN and DL 648 LAX-JFK. Both say 73H.

While UG chances look good on the overnight, the JFK-SAN chances look slim to none but I have row 18 and if I also have AVOD, I'm pretty happy :)

PDX-ATL was all ex-Song 757s with AVOD, but now some of these flights are on 737s with AVOD.
