They need to provide charging ports along with it. No battery can last more than 4 hrs when watching movies/using internet etc

iPad, MacBooks and other Ultrabooks can last around 10 hours - but I agree the batteries of the devices most people use can not last for a longer flight - so you are right either they need to install power sockets or USB charging ports at the seats. Until then people need to take a powerbank (portable charger) with them.

Nothing more then a sensation like. In case of PIA don't believe it until u see it.For the last one year we are hearing about new cabin interiors for 777 but nothing happened then there was a news of 7 or 8 Boeing 787 which was also nothing but a rumour.They have the habit of breaking news like our media without any confirmation

PIA don't have enough planes. The 3 a 330 were meant to help PIA fleet so when a b777 is taken out for refurbishment they have planes flying around still.

So until PIA get more wife body planes, don't expect new business or Ife etc. These things cannot be done in one day or on week for a big airplane like b777.

The only thing PIA quickly can do is install wifi and wifi direct for stream to tablet or smartphones. But then PIA should take out Ife seats. Doesn't make sense to have 2 same time.

I have recently experience this on United and Delta flights and if PIA can offer a decent amount of entertainment options (tv shows, movies etc.) this can be really good. At least they don't have to worry about people damaging the screens :)
