How Quickly Does Entertainment Selection Change?
This may be a silly question, but I'm the kind of person that likes to plan my entertainment in advance...
If I'm travelling on VS home to London, leaving early afternoon on the first of the month, can I expect the new month's entertainment? Does it take a while for it to be switched over? Does it only switch over once it's returned to the UK?
(Out of interest, how is this done - does someone physically change a hard drive or is it done over-the-air?)
Thanks!

If the plane has arrived that day from LHR then it is more likely to have the updated films etc but it would depend when that plane landed at LHR from it's previous flight/
They do tend to change on the 1st but it does depend on when planes are scheduled to arrive and depart LHR and if there are irrops they prioritise running flights rather than updating the IFE.
I believe they just change the hard drive as its probably quicker than wifi!
