Some flight attendants tell you they'll reset it, some tell you they don't have the ability to reset it, some are very helpful and others have no idea what you are talking about. <BR/><BR/>Unlike Delta and US Airways, American Airlines makes it known they have in-seat power. They use the in-seat power availability to lure business travelers to their airline, and so far it has been very affective in gainly many loyal business flyers. <BR/><BR/>If the power is not working I always politely ask the flight attendant to hit the reset and more often than not the power comes on. <BR/><BR/>British Airways also has in-seat power in many of it's Airbus aircraft. They have standard 110/220 outlets between the seats, however I have never seen them on. The light is always "red" instead of "green."flyingfishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11916846751892643652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4631269115395079689.post-64864287594053823522008-04-04T18:45:00.000-07:002008-04-04T18:45:00.000-07:00One additional tip on in-seat power...

The second time, I asked a flight attendant about it. He or she flipped a switch, and I had power.<BR/><BR/>I suspect they turn it off for landing, to encourage people to turn off their electronic devices, and then forget to turn it back on for the next flight. So just ask.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
