Do Boeing 747 have tvs?

747-400. Our 747-400 offers our customers greater capacity than any aircraft and excellent economies of scale. Along with GoGo 2KU WiFi connectivity, all seats are equipped with individual video screens.



Whether a Boeing 747 has TVs (In-Flight Entertainment or IFE) depends entirely on the specific airline and its cabin configuration in 2026. The few remaining passenger 747-8i aircraft operated by Lufthansa and Korean Air feature modern, high-definition seatback touchscreens in all classes, offering hundreds of movies, games, and live flight maps. However, older 747-400 models, which are now almost exclusively used for charter or cargo, may only have "bulkhead" monitors (large screens at the front of the cabin) or no screens at all, requiring passengers to stream content to their own devices via onboard Wi-Fi. In the "Golden Age" of the 747 (the 1970s and 80s), the "TVs" were often projections onto a screen at the front of each section. In 2026, since the "Queen of the Skies" is mostly phased out of passenger service in favor of more fuel-efficient twin-engine jets like the 787 or A350, finding a 747 with a seatback TV is becoming a rare and nostalgic experience reserved for a handful of premium international routes.
