In House Hotel Movies
Dont you hate overnighting at those hotels that have the pay/confirm type in house video system??!!
Apparently there is a way to enter a 'maintenance' mode that allows you to view them for free.
I have pulled the control apart many times but still no joy.
Does anyone have any idea how to do it?

No mate - just the $14 for watching a movie I could rent at Blockbuster.
If I wanted stick flicks, I could ask yo borrow one of the other crews laptops!

It's a real shame that international aircrews are paid so poorly that they can't afford $14 for a movie. Perhaps we could ask Captain Danny to start a "survival fund" for them all...

Buy a nice laptop computer, take your own DVD's. Problem solved.
I remember in the Ansett days when the management of the Hyatt in Adelaide discovered people knew how to get the movies for free. Ansett had to send a manager across to sort the issue out and do some pacifying. I never did find out how to do it either.

3 x 14 = $42 not huge !!
1 x 14 x (100 overnights) = $1400
when you build that into mortgage repayments . .... .. .
Dont know how much you all are getting paid, but it must be more than me!!

You've missed the point m-dot. The movie facility is just that, a facility, like the gym, the posh restaurant at the top, the business centre, massage salon etc. etc. If you can't afford them then you can't use them! Simple really.

good point deadhead.
They make a killing with the videos.
Add a rip-off rate for movies to a remote control left laying around and a pilot left unsupervised for a night and what do they expect?
It's not the pilot's fault.
I now know how to do it, by the way. I did a google search.
But because I'm so fabulously wealthy plus deeply-bothered about being labelled a tight-arse pilot by the hosties (who, strangely, never seem to buy any drinks or hang around for the bill, isn't that weird...) I will not be applying the technique.

Humm
average overnights per month = 15
Movie cost = USD 15.00
NZD cost = 24.00 * 15 = $360.00
Conclusion = "rip off"
Some hotels still provide free movies!!!
PS the "adult movies" don't appear on your bill....
PPS they are usually censored anyway.
PPPS what was your search topic on Google???

I am obviously someone in a very small minority! I could'nt think of anything more mind numbingly boring or brain deadening than to watch movies in a hotel/motel room.
Much rather read a good book! Anything by Wilbur Smith, Frederick Forsyth, Clive Cussler, Robert Ludlum,Colin Forbes etc etc etc.
Either that or cuddle up with.. er.. ahem!!
Her name was Minami and that was some time ago too!!

Funny looks from the girl at reception !
Be careful ! Whilst the title of the movie dosnt necessarily appear on your bill, the chain of hotels we stay at charge a different price for the tit-flicks !.
$13.95 for a normal movie, $14.95 for the bluey
Bit of a give away when your checking out :-)
