4X-ECC first 777 to get Economy Plus?

I have noticed that 4X-ECC hasn't flown for 2 weeks. I guess it is under maintenance. I think they are installing the Economy Plus as well as the AVOD

4X-ECC is back to service after 4 weeks of maintenance. AVOD installed now?

Not unless the aircraft is being sold or leased to United Airlines. Economy Plus is a registered trademark of UA. Premium economy seats may be being installed, but not "Economy Plus."

They're not installing Premium Economy.

True, but Shkedi has referred to it numerous times as "Tourist Plus" or "Tourist Class Plus" which is also the direct translation of its name in Hebrew.

There was no AVOD on ECC, at least like ECA/E/F have.

In Y, it looked like the old looped entertainment.

In C, I had some form of AVOD. There were 10 movies to choose from. For TV, there were 4 channels to choose from, each with about 2 hours of programming. Once you select a channel, you can pause, fast forward, or rewind. But not as intuitive as simply having different episodes.

Interface was not great.

It must be the same system as I had on ECD.
When did you fly?
