[nikkisun]

is there anyway of finding out if the plane you will be flying on will have the seatback games? last time we went to Florida (with Virgin) we had nintendo games on the flight out but not on the way back. (only just over 3 weeks now til we go and am sooooooo excited!!)

For your info........

NOVA
During the summer of 2001 Virgin took delivery of five 747-400 aircraft (the cancelled Alitalia order), these were fitted with an Inflight Entertainment system new to Virgin Atlantic supplied by Thales. The new product, called 'Nova' has 8 channels of seat back entertainment consisting of:
Movie channels
2 kids channels (featuring a combination of movies and tv programming)
1 TV channel which works on a cycle basis showing a selection of current TV programming
14 audio channels ranging from soul to Classical music
Moving Skymap display which plots the aircraft's flight path
Bulkhead Telephone
The Nova system is on a selection of LGW 747-400. As these aircraft have Suite fit-outs, they get "Super Nova" (an enhanced version of Nova, but it still ain't V:Port).
