Entertainment system LAX-IAH 737?
Hi all,
Looking at flying United for the first time. We usually choose AA due to being OW members. Our route would be LAX-IAH on (I think) a 737.
Does anyone know if there will be entertainment onboard or if it will be possible to stream entertainment via wifi?
Many Thanks.

Download the United App to your phone or tablet before going to the airport in order to best use the streaming video.

I was also looking at SNA to IAH but they seem to be almost double LAX fares. Is that normal? Do United ever have "sales" like the other big carriers? I'm totally in the dark here having never used them before.

Yes.
Yes.
I guess I will hold out and keep monitoring flight prices. We still have a couple of months until we fly.

LAX is a much more competitive market than SNA. Definitely a premium for OC residents to fly nonstop without having to drive to LAX.
