Reply to comment by pseudopad in eli5: Why do most airlines still use 2-pin audio jacks for the in-flight entertainment systems on their planes? by JJGLC92

If you always fly the same routes or company, you’re gonna see the same equipment. Try flying to another continent with another airline.

Delta, Lufthansa, KLM, SAS, United are the ones I've typically used. I've been to three different continents. Guess I just got lucky?

Oh yeah, Air France on my most recent trip to the US. Single 3.5 there too.

Perhaps. I had the double one on at least two intercontinental flights. Maybe more often and didn’t even notice. So yeah, they’re still around.

To be honest, I don't even bother using the entertainment system if the ride is less than 3 hours, so I wouldn't remember what was on the shorter flights connecting to the actual transatlantic ones.
