Everything was perfect, service, aircraft, crew. When I can, I choose Delta as the best airline. Of course I have in my heart Avianca. But they both have code shared.

I'd like to see Delta spend more time updating its blog and making posts. This is the newest post in the onborad experience section and it’s two months old.

I was on an international flight not long ago, (not with Delta) that there was a movie being shown with several curse words and there was a class of young kids on flight. Again, it wasn't with Delta, but I just thought that it wasn't necessary. When you show movies on flights, you really need to be careful as to what you show. There are plenty of "kid friendly" movies that airlines can show that both kids and adults can enjoy. I don’t feel that “edgy” movies are really that necessary on flights.

Also does that route have the updated seats/systems in BE. I ask because I happened to ride a 763 ER down to MCO from ATL and it seemed very dated. I haven't flown to London in a few years so I was curious what I should expect. Thanks.

Particularly on a longer flight, a 3 hour baseball or football game can very quickly pass the time. On AVOD, I’d love to see some classic sports games.

My suggestion is can't we see different TV shows when flying domestically on flights less than 2 hours. I have seen the same episode of Ugly Betty 3 times this month - a little variety would be nice.

As a parent of three (9, 11, & 14), they bring along their own personal DVD players, MP3 players, Game Boy's, and/or whatever else they'll need. Just like our TV and PC at home, we strictly screen what our kids see and listen to as much as we can. Just as I don't was Washington regulating what I can access on my home DirecTV, I don't want them regulating what Delta can show for its majority adult audience... I personally enjoy being able to watch a film like "Georgia Rule" (which I did watch on Delta last week). Keep up the good work and first-run movies!

It's true that posting is by now a little stale, but is there a different way we can get answers to these questions, or am I simply being impatient?

I want to emphasize that there are edited R-rated movies that are acceptable for network television and airline use. Whether a film is PG, PG-13 or R isn't the issue...it's the content. And we edit the films, we show, regardless of MPAA rating, to strict standards. Steven R. -- Regarding your post...I was referencing this comment from Samftla: "I strongly feel that if a movie is to be shown on the old overhead systems then they should be appropriate for ALL ages, meaning that there should be nothing offensive to a parent traveling with a child." I took that to mean Samftla would like to see only G rated films onboard as they are the only MPAA rated films that are suitable for all audiences. bluevoayager77 -- I agree...I'd like to see an integrated moving map, an ATC/flight deck channel and a "look ahead/look down" camera. Stay tuned... W4epi -- I'll pass your comment on to our Cabin Maintenance group and Panasonic engineers. Keep the comments coming!
