    I flew back from Vancouver a few weeks ago with MyTravel, my advice to anyone is to leave them well alone, no leg room at all, awful food, rude crew, totally awful-never again!

    MyTravel use their Airbus A330's on the route to Las Vegas. These aircraft do have seat back televisions for all passengers. It works on a channel system, a couple of film channels, comedy channel, sports channel, entertainment channel, kids channel, documentary channel, and music video channel. They also have the usual selection of radio channels.

    Headphones are available on board for £2.50, although if you have any airline headphones from previous flights they should work. That said, I flew with MyTravel to Crete recently, and the aircraft had one pin headphone sockets, so any headphones could be used. That said, the one they sold on board could be adapted to one pin or two pin, so I guess their fleet must vary. Can't say what the A330 uses...

    With regards to leg room and service, they are a charter airline, you pay's your money, you take's your choice! I've never had an issue flying charter personally, but its all a matter of preference.

    MyTravel publish their inflight magazine online, there is more infomration there about the inflight entertainment if you want it. http://www.mytravelmag.com and click Emagazine.

    Thats a great price!! I did just remember that MyTravel still fly a Boeing 767 which doesn't have seatback TVs. I have tried to search to find if they definately do fly the A330 to Vegas. I can't come up with anything 100% conclusive, but I have found photo's of a MyTravel A330 in Vegas on September 27th, so it still looks good for the A330 and personal TVs!

    Enjoy Vegas!

    It was the Airbus we travelled on, unfortunately, we did not have a choice as it was part of the tour and i was not aware of MyTravels shortcomings before we went.
    The strange thing is that we flew out with Thomas Cook, part of the same group, and it was perfectly acceptable

    All A330's from Manchester. 90% have personal tv's some middle seats have to make do with the drop down tellys. Not a great choice of films or other channels. Headsets cost but your own headset will work well enough ...if you like sound in one ear only. Food is edibile, staff were fine. Never had a problem with them and used that flight many times.
