I don’t know how typical this is on long flights, but China Southern has a personal TV on the back of each seat that displays flight progress on one of the channels.

I think it's pretty common on overseas flights. JapanAir was the same way.

Oh, hey, so what ended up happening with the luggage limit? Were you in the clear?

Also, the pictures are interesting, but tiny. I think you uploaded them in a way so they stay postage-stamp-sized.
