Cons: The entertainment system constantly plays media you can't control during the full takeoff and landing times, you can't even turn off the screen. This was particularly annoying during a nighttime landing. Also most of the movies had their content edited.

Pros: The ground steward in LAX attended to our needs. He was cheerful and made us feel welcome.
