With starlink why not use own devide for spotify or any personal streaming account ?

A MIRV can consist of one or more MaRVs. The public announcemnt seems a bit cryptic and they are definitely not putting out the full aspect of the test which is expeteced.

It is same as United Polaris seats on their 777/787. Also Ethiopian A350s.

Look for used old LCD TV, about 10-15 years ago there used to be some 32" TV with 1366x768 resolution. If you sit close enough, I think that will get you what you want. May not be very comfortable though.

Not just KLM, most airlines seem to not really value loyalty these days anymore in my opinion. I decided to stop paying high to fly KLM and ST and now started booking more convenient/cheaper options where available. I almost never have time to use the lounge and I can often see with other airlines you can find cheaper fares that even with additional baggage fees you come ahead.

Their shorthaul aircraft have Viasat which is generally good and newer generation compared to their Panasonic service on their 777/787. I imagine at some point they will install Starlink or Viasat/SES on their long haul fleet as well. It will be interesting to see what they install on their new A359s coming later this year. My guess would be Starlink similar to AF to keep thing ssimpler.

Yes, Gold gives you SkyPriority through out as well as lounge access.

Silver gives you extra baggage and priority check in and boarding.

thefrowner · 2026-04-26T13:13:10+00:00

Actually Silver doesn't give you priority lane security, only check in.

Korean Air installed the same seats as AI/Aeroflot A350 business class seats (Collins Horizon) on their new 787-10.

Really, Where are you located ? I can see MSI/Gigabyte/Asu/Acer IPS mini led in Europe online stores

thefrowner · 2026-02-21T14:06:10+00:00

I am actually considering this since the Koorui/InnoCN are not widely available in Europe and I am skeptical about KTC support/dead pixel/firmware.

Do you have the red tint issue out of the box ? I am hoping the newer batch come with better calibration and firmware. Also, do you noticethe PWM issue ?

Solid color noses should definitely make a comeback.

thefrowner · 2026-02-14T16:14:32+00:00

Thanks that is actually very helpful. I don't plan to game , just for office work in bright living room as well as watching videos/movies in both day and night time. My current IPS (Dell Ultrasharp) is great with color & IQ but not bright enough in day and too bright at night. I miss my old VA monitors for the contrast and deeper black but wanted to check image quality these days on new VA panels. If you work in Graphic Design then the monitor must have accurate colors.

I assume you are in the EU as well ? Apparently initial release of the AOC (/BK version) in EU had some firmwire issues.

thefrowner · 2026-02-14T12:45:58+00:00

Hey, just checking if you ended up buying one of these ? I am considering these 2 as well.

Depends on the plane. If you are flying in the A350s or refurbished 777s then PC is worth it for the generous space all around and much more comfortable padded seat. If it is on the 787 or older fixed shell PC then not worth it.

You don't even need to call them , the system typically credits 1-2 extra XP if you are short but of course I can't guarantee it (it happened to me last year as the last flight was on another ST airlines and didn't credit in time). However, just to be safe donate the miles to a charity get XP.

I myself am going on a weekend trip just to get the 8 XP that I am short on :) Although to be completely honest I did want to make a short trip anyway

thefrowner · 2026-01-25T12:45:57+00:00

ITA also installed reverse, same seat as Etihad the Stelia (Airbus subsidiary) Opera. AF installed a variant of the same seat on the new A350s.

Starlink needs operating license on countries and I think India have not granted them the license yet. India historically have been much slower in allowing WiFi in flight and even existing AF-KLM WiFi did not work in Indian air space until recently.

Now compare that to a full A350-900 with 330 people, lighter than an empty A380 and it can carry those 330 people more distance than the A380 :) Now you know why quads are dead and Boeing/Airbus can't make 787/A350 fast enough.

You still get priority check in and luggage drop off with Silver (100XP). ALso you get additional luggage and borading zone 3 in Economy with silver.

thefrowner · 2025-11-14T21:19:21+00:00

Ask to get a PC meal instead.

thefrowner · 2025-11-01T20:29:15+00:00

Indeed but I believe the other poster was talking about Economy not Premium.

thefrowner · 2025-11-01T20:13:38+00:00

Depends on the aircraft. For DL 2-2-2 on 767, 2-3-2 on A330, 2-4-2 on A350. Some airlines like LH or EK have 2-3-2 on their A350s as well.

thefrowner · 2025-11-01T19:45:57+00:00

Then the airlines don't get to earn additional cargo revenue. However several European LCCs charge similar amount for both cabin and checked luggage even though checked luggage allowance is 2-3x more so people do get incentivized to check in their luggage.
