I was on EK793 DXB-LAD last week and was pleasantly surprised to find that that the entire AVOD system had been upgraded to a new system I had never seen before. Stop reading now if this is old news and I missed a major discussion on here about it!

I was in Business and the old touch screen controller had been replaced with a slick, slim and very responsive Ipad-like device. The interface was excellent and very responsive. The screens were also bigger (not sure about exact size) and great quality. Head and shoulders above any other airline I have ever flown. The aircraft was a 777-300ER.

I had not heard of any plans for a new AV system so I was pretty blown away.

Well done, EK, continuing to stay well ahead of the competition, certainly when it comes to inflight entertainment.

EightBlack posted about it a while back and provided photos to boot.

Recent flight on A6-EGV GLA-DXB had this in first, great system very easy to use.

I had it on my recent Glasgow (afternoon) flight too.

Is it just me, or has anyone noticed that in F when you push the call button next to window shade controls it automatically calls the galley through the in-seat phone (Room service feature)? I only noticed this in the new system on the 777
