Re: PIA Inflight Entertainment ISB - CDG
Hi,
well sir to be honest nothing will be serviceable...most MAS3000 IFE systems on our fleet have reboot issues and servers have multiplexing issues, so crews have stopped using them altogether! they do however screen airshow(flight map and GPS info) along with boarding music on all fleet as a standard!
P.S IF YOU are BUSINESS CLASS pax..then there is a probability of an Ipad given out pre loaded with music ,movies and games.

Business Class is the way to go on PIA long haul, because otherwise the IFE doesn't work.
That said, I recently flew PIA and just went to the back to check the state of the cabin. The seats looked fine and TV's were working. I flew AP-BHX and AP-BHW I believe.
In Business Class, the iPads handed out have a variety of the newest movies, and a large variety of songs too. Kids movies and games were also available.

The only viable solution then is either to upgrade to business class (not feasible ) or to carry your own ipad with movies, games etc .

I don't understand why PIA doesn't just remove the screens altogether. Seldom have I ever read a trip report that stated these screens actually work.
They should just remove the screens thereby lowering the weight of the aircraft thereby reducing fuel costs.
They should have Inflight WIFI available to all customers - that way those who want to watch movies, play games etc can connect on their own devices.
An alternative option is for PIA to provide rental IPADS for economy pax, while business pax should continue to receive complimentary ipads
Thanks!!

Rental Ipad's is an excellent option. Just read that PIA is already looking into onboard Wifi option.

a plane logs around 250 hours a month, times that by 20 aircrafts, that's 10,000 hours of airplane flying hundreds of KG of system stuff a month.

Assalam U Alaikum,
I am travelling by PIA Lahore-New York-Lahore in July with my family IN SHAA ALLAH, please advise about the In flight entertainment/Food standards on this LHE-JFK-LHE route, because many people are complaining about PIA's in flight Services, I am seriously considering to get refund & get new booking on Turkish or Etihad.
Please advise so that i can make the right decision within time.

Re: PIA Inflight Entertainment ISB - CDG
In my opinion, Etihad would be best because you can avail their pre-clearance facility at Abu Dhabi and not have to wait at CBP once you arrive into the US.
Plus you will have to stop off at Manchester (UK) and its an extra hassle getting on and off the aircraft if you travel with PIA

IFE on my flight to London was working. Apart from snacks, lunch is generally pretty great. If cash is an issue or you want to have a homely feel fly PIA, otherwise splurge a bit and fly the ME3.aimanhabib wrote:Assalam U Alaikum,
