Which QF 767 have personal IFE? That was the main thing I was hoping for
No 767's have personal PTV's in economy and never will.

The 767's will not start to exit the fleet until QF start getting the 787's. That won't happen till the first 10 or so have gone to JQ, and given recent delays that probably won't happen to around mid 2010. However those A330's will start to go back to QF eventually, and they will then probably service the intl routes the 767's currently do eg HNL/JKT/MNL, Whether or not QF requip them with new interiors and PTV's in economy is debateable. I would imagine they would replace them with QF type interiors but not put PTV's in economy.

Realistically I would say don't expect any PTV's in economy on any JKT route for some years yet. Sorry to dissapoint.

The cost to outfit the 767 fleet with Y PTV's would outweigh the return of service these aircraft will deliver since they will begin retirement in the comming years.

I do know that the next 737 deliverys will come with an updated IFE system. The extent of this I do not know as of yet, but it is supposed to have been upgraded. Maybe a file server platform versus tape etc.
