EI B757 IFE and seating SNN-BOS

Anyone flown economy on the 757's out of SNN? What's the IFE like? Electrical or ipad sockets? Seating - the seat maps and info on EI and Air Contractors site is useless. It gives gap in the centre of the aircraft which I assume are the galleys? I have to buy seats on the return for 20 euro each as I cant get 2 seats together. Any advice would be appreciated. Amazing no one has a video of the cabin uploaded yet.

Haven't flown them with Aer Lingus, but looking at Air Contractors website it says there there is full IFE. Doesn't mention anything about electrical sockets.

The gaps are probably for the toilets. Galleys would be to back or front usually in the 757.

Even though these planes are leased, they were last in service with Finnair. Seat Guru has a map for Finnair 757, which looks like all economy seating, so it won't be exactly like the Aer Lingus configuration with Business and Economy classes, but it will give you a fair idea...

There was a thread on this before....PTV throughout the cabin. Supposed to be a good system (RAVE)
No power sockets (its a circa 1999 aircraft)
As above the gaps are the toilets located mid cabin.

A mate tells me that booking in the forward half of the cabin is preferred, 1/2 inch more legroom

There's no sockets but there is the USB port on the screen in the headrest, damn hard to get the USB cable into it tho, thought I was gonna break the port! Screens are touchscreen too. Seat fabric is a little weird, felt like I was sorta sliding off them but they're comfortable enough

Row 4 and 5 look to be in a little mini cabin of their own.
