IFE – In Flight Entertainment
IFE refers to In Flight Entertainment, in the early days of flying you would be expected to make your own entertainment by either playing cards or looking out of the windows.
In the past few years In Flight Entertainment has really grown and now includes internet connections, SMS and Phone calls. During the early 1980’s the most you could expect would be movie projected on to a screen at the front of the plane and audio could be heard via an audio jack in the arm rest.
Of course today modern IFE is a lot more complexed, you can view live maps of your flight which is mapped via GPS and will give you position, air temperature outside, time to destination, time on plane, and speed. Often there is a live feed from camera on the wings, nose and tail.
Most long haul and short haul flights will have Tv’s in the back of the headrest in front of you, which enables you to watch popular TV shows and a selection of recent movies.
