Has anyone else had a plane like this. From Singapore to Jakarta. About a 4.5 hour flight. Instead of one inflight movie for eneryone. Watch it or go to sleep. We all had seperate monitors on the backs of the seats. With the menu came games, music, flight map of where you were, other information and the best of all. About 40 different movies to select from. I watched Cinderella Man and part of Dukes of Hazard. What a concept. We should lobby for this on all planes.

No, but in Mexico I once took a "first class" bus ($7 for 2 hour ride), that played a movie during the trip.

The bus ride was 2 hours. The movie was 2 hours and 18 minutes. Still don't know how it ends.

I rode a 777 to London that did the same thing. Also flew a 767 from LAX to JFK once (out of almost 5 trips in 1 year) that also had the same setup. Quite neat concept.

HBO showed edited movies in Malaysia.

Bidness class in a trans-Pacific 747 flight had individual monitors like that.

Things are alittle more liberal here.(Was surprised) Just watched HBO last night and it was pretty ranchy. Don't know if you have seen the low budget Ghost Ship but it had half ass stripping in it.
