What airlines have TV's besides JetBlue?

I'm finding the only non-stops from LAX to MCO are on American. I can suck up the baggage fee, but with 3 kids, TV's on the plane would be VERY nice.

Delta has them on some of their flights, especially the ones that were formerly part of the Song Airlines fleet. But there's no guarantee you'll get one of those planes, or one of the newer ones in their current fleet. I've found that SeatGuru.com is a good resource to find out what amenities will be on the particular airline and their planes.

That's a very helpful site. Thanks!

Not always. I boarded a Delta plane for a 9 hour transatlantic flight, completely full flight by the way, where seatguru told me there were personal tvs in each seat only to be horrified to find that it was wrong.

Unlikely for an American domestic flight to have individual TVs at each seat. I fly American all the time and you'll only get TVs in coach if you happen to get a flight on a plane that is usually used internationally. Seatguru is a good resource.

United has some sorts of entertainment usually, but it is inconsistent. I have been on flights with Directv where you can pay to watch. Then I have been on flights that allowed you to watch a large selection of movies or TV at no cost either. Then there are other times where they have the screens that come down from the ceiling where you watch whatever they put on. Then there have been times where there is no TV. Mind you that all of these have been on flights from NJ to FL and back again...so its been inconsistent at best.

Depends on what aircraft it is, and which airline it was under previously.
All of the pre-merger Continental 737-7/8/900 (large number already do) and 757-300s (none so far) will have DirecTV by the end of the year, until that is completed it is drop down screens or nothing. Its either $6 or $8 depending if its under or over two hours for the DirecTV. The 757-200s from their international fleet are reguarly on the Orlando flights and they have the excellent, free, on demand film/music/tv stuff.

The issue comes from the fact that some pre-merger United aircraft are operating flights out of pre-merger Continental hubs of Houston and Newark so could end up with anything.
