Asking because my ticket states , seats to be assigned at check in. Just slightly curious as from the layout I can see that there are some “double seats” and also some single seats. I wouldn’t like to be on the inside of a double seat, at the risk of disturbing someone else if I wanted to get up/out of my seat to use bathroom etc.

But, if the flight is within 48 hours, then they can't and you will be assigned a seat at check-in. 3K & 5K are by far the best seats. If they're gone, try to get an even numbered A seat (2A, 4A, etc..) as they have better privacy than the odd numbered ones, because of the position of the console.

Have checked the website for what is playing and hasn't changed from the December listing, which was pretty bad to be honest. Flying back TA to DUB next week and just curious if I'll need to load up the iPad/phone with movies/shows. Could just be a case that the website has not been updated which wouldn't surprise me.

Cabin crew seem to relate to theses managers and you can tell they enjoy the experience. Never less than professional but you can see they respond to their managers support.

Tenger wrote: » I believe that it is bi-monthly. Am open to correction of course. Havent flown TA with them in 4 months. I do recall that they had a big Christopher Nolan (director) selection on in May/June. Im assuming that they get a package deal with the media supplier. (might be Tom Cruise in Feb/Mar) Personally, I would always load up my personal entertainment options (book, tablet,laptop) just in case of any issues/delays.
kmart6 wrote: » That is appalling if bi-monthly. Will have content on other devices but nice to be able to look straight at the screen in front of you instead of bent down at a laptop/tablet/phone, which is compounded if the person in front of you insists on having there seat reclined for the entire flight.
