The number of airlines adding in-seat power vs those removing it is significant. Airlines such as Delta are moving to roll in-seat power out through its fleet to bring in more business flyers, while US Airways is removing its in-seat power from its fleet in an effort to reduce the overall weight of the aircraft (and in turn they are losing a number of business flyers who flew them specifically for in-seat power). <BR/><BR/>The reason you'll get vague answers from most airlines, is that most crews seem to little knowledge of the in-seat power or how it works. <BR/><BR/>Happy Flying!<BR/><BR/>-Fishflyingfishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11916846751892643652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4631269115395079689.post-25631231526157758192008-11-05T12:13:00.000-08:002008-11-05T12:13:00.000-08:00I just flew on Hawaiian Airlines and they no longe...I just flew on Hawaiian Airlines and they no longer provide power to the EmPower recptacles on any of their airplanes. I had a similar problem recently in Europe (cannot recall the airline).<BR/><BR/>In both cases I got vague and non-responses from both cabin and cockpit crew members, leading me to think this is a security related issue and they will not talk about it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4631269115395079689.post-29687178821546053152008-10-21T21:15:00.000-07:002008-10-21T21:15:00.000-07:00The best laptop adapter I've found is Kensington 1...The best laptop adapter I've found is Kensington 120 adapter. It has ac/dc/empower and uses various tips for different laptops. Kensington has been just fantastic about sending me new tips (FREE!) when I get a new laptop. Can buy them on ebay for about $30. It's also great at home, where I have one power cord at our desk, and me/hubbie use it by simply swapping out the tip. <BR/><BR/>ALAS, I just booked a flight from Chicago to Seattle only to learn (from seatguru and the airline) that United does not have ANY power for ANY coach seats on ANY planes. I will never fly United again. I've done a lot of American flights from west coast to Midwest and always had a functioning power outlet under my seat. It's inconceivable to me that a major airline wouldn't have any power to anyone in coach, which still has a large share of biz flyers with companies that won't pay for biz or 1st class (I'm an attorney and even large corp clients won't pay for biz class unless coach is completely sold out).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4631269115395079689.post-41648092918126920802008-09-11T13:22:00.000-07:002008-09-11T13:22:00.000-07:00Hendrik, I'm happy to hear you found this article ...Hendrik, <BR/><BR/>I'm happy to hear you found this article informative. <BR/><BR/>You are welcome to use these images to update the Wiki page, or the WikiTravel sites. <BR/><BR/>The goal of Flying With Fish is to help people travel smarter and more effectively......and seems this post did just that for you :0) <BR/><BR/>Happy Flying!<BR/><BR/>-Fishflyingfishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11916846751892643652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4631269115395079689.post-83678729212968677372008-09-11T09:05:00.000-07:002008-09-11T09:05:00.000-07:00Interesting article.
