AA Boeing 777 DC power source under seat

[2007 May]

Yesterday, I flew American Airline flight #137 on a Boeing 777 from
London Heathrow to LAX on economy seats.
On the overhead compartment door, there is a label "DC power source under
seat". I looked but was unable to find this power source.

Can you tell me what is the DC power voltage of this power source & max
current or wattage?
What is the sharp of this plug should be?
Can I use it to charge laptop and cell phone and use for portable DVD
players?
Is this power source for all domestic and international airlines?
How can I find more info? Thank you.

current or wattage?

It's ~15V at up to ~75W in most cases. See more here:
http://www.seatguru.com/articles/in-seat_laptop_power.php

If you walk into a Frys or CompUSA and purchase a Targus or iGo "automobile"
power adapter for your laptop, it'll most likely be usable with the Empower
connector as well: The 12V cigarette lighter plug snaps onto the Empower plug.
(Check out their web sites for more info as well.)

No, of course not.

Ooops, you mean 75W DC power, so people can do electrolysis on their water bottle
and then DETONATE the H / O2??

can't bring your own food on board (which IMO sucks and is a deal breaker)!!

Sounds like an advantage to me, except for bottled water. I'd rather
bring along an Angus beef sandwich or a nice bagel with cream cheese
and lox than have to suffer airline food on short flights (say 8 hours
or less).

I stopped bringing the real good stuff. Like burgers I barbequed the
night before. When I opened my lunch bag on a SWA flight some of the
passengers near me almost started to drool, just from the scent. One of
them said I should bring at least 15 burgers if I did that again.

Figure maybe $8 per burger, you could pay for the flight!

I'd have to sell a nice Porter along with each because it's last minute

You miss the point. Like a movie theatre, you may NOT bring any of your own
food on board, you must buy it from the hostess/server or do without.

=============================================

Policy: Can I bring my own food or drinks on board?

No. Skybus fares are very, very low in part because that's all you're paying
for: your air fare. That means no free peanuts. (Actually, no one seems to
miss them). And we ask that you not bring your own food or drinks on board.
The only exception is for passengers who will need food that we're unable to
provide, for example baby formula or baby food, special food for those with
a medical condition such as diabetes or severe food allergies, or those with
dietary restrictions (Kosher, Muslim, etc).

On the other hand, Skybus flights are very, very comfortable partly because
you can buy delicious snacks and beverages you actually want during your
flight. Or not. It's your choice.

To keep everything tidy and organized, we do ask that you finish any snacks
and drinks you purchase on your own before boarding, as you are not
permitted to bring them on our aircraft.

So? Maybe you conveniently develop a medical condition shortly before a
flight that only allows you to eat buffalo hunted north of Upper
Senduskee, grilled over mesquite wood from Oregon. Can Skybus supply that?

My medical condition requires me to eat kosher ham sandwiches from Subway.

Halal and Kosher are close enough the same anyhow. Neither can eat
pork, either can chow down on mashed locusts, etc.

Since when? I flew Continental EWR Newark to MSP Minneapolis St Paul
during the last week of February 2007. The TSA rule is that you can't
bring food or liquid through security except that small zip loc bag of
personal items. But once you're in the secured zone you can buy
anything you want and bring it on board. Both Newark and Minneapolis St
Paul airports have great food courts. Flying out I brought a hot
pastrami on rye and a root beer with no objection by the flight crew.
On the way back I brought on a really great burger, virgin piña colada,
and a slice of Key Lime pie from Chillie's. Once again no one in the
flight crew made any objections.

Just tell the airline that the food you're bringing on board is required by
your religious beliefs. If they allow this for Jews and Muslims, they must
allow it for everyone or risk lawsuits.

You don't have to fool them. You don't have to prove that you're Jewish or
Muslim; therefore you don't have to prove that you belong to the Church of
Bubba. And if your religion dictates that you eat only fried chicken, they
cannot object unless they object to all _other_ religious practices as well.

No, for a number of reasons:

1, I haven't been on a plane since August 22, 1974.
2. I can't take a long flight due to circulation problems in my legs
3. I don't want to fly, because there is no place that I want to see
bad enough to taker any long trip.
4. I don't have the money to waste on a plane ticket.

These are two totally different activities.
You go to a restaurant to buy eat food served to eat.
You go on an airplane to travel to another place. You should be able to
either buy food onboard or bring your own.
However, a flying restaurant to travel, is another story.

A deal breaker in principle? i.e. if Skybus was $50 cheaper (or 50 Euros or
whatever) than the comeptitor, but you had to pay $10 for food as opposed to
bringing your own, would you pay the higher fare to 'teach Skybus a lesson'?

Here in the U.S. water and other food is OK if it's been purchased in the

with an empty bottle that you filled from the water fountains in the secure
area.

In the U.K. I've read that you can't really take anything on board anymore...
no laptops, DVD players, food, etc... I guess books are still OK...

remain- these are EU wide.

because we flew from UK airport across the Atlantic to US, or some such

Well, we flew from Rome to Paris two Saturday ago, around 7:30am, on the
security check gates into the boarding area. This Parisian lady was drinking
a half quart orange juice, holding up the entire X-ray checking line. The
young Italian lad behind her was rolling his eyes and cursing. The screener
was waving her to throw away this juice carton. She just ignored everybody
and drank the entire carton. What a scene to remember my vacation.....

According to the official TSA (Transportation Security Administration)
site, food is also allowed through checkpoints as long as it's wrapped
or in a container (so there's no danger of it spilling when going
throught the x-ray machine). The rules about beverages are more
restrictive.

Yesterday, I flew American Airline flight #137 on a Boeing 777 from
London Heathrow to LAX on economy seats.
On the overhead compartment door, there is a label "DC power source
under seat". I looked but was unable to find this power source.
Can you tell me what is the DC power voltage of this power source &
max current or wattage?
What is the sharp of this plug should be?
Can I use it to charge laptop and cell phone and use for portable DVD
players?
Is this power source for all domestic and international airlines?
How can I find more info? Thank you.

Each airline makes their own decision on the type of power source they
provide, and where they place the outlets in their aircraft. Seatguru
is a good place to see what is available on various aircraft and
airlines. Here is the link to a typical arrangment in American
Airlines' 777 fleet:

http://tinyurl.com/bmdo4

You can tell where the power points are by the dots on the seat chart.
You can get more information on the type by clicking on the image of the
plug toward the top of the page.

Here is a link to a general discussion of the various types of onboard
power sources:

http://www.seatguru.com/articles/in-seat_laptop_power.php

In the case of American's 777, they offer a standard cigarette style
jack, like you would find in an automobile. It is rated at 15 volts DC,
and 75 Watts. Therefore, anything that you could plug into your car
cigarette lighter, that draws less than 75 Watts (5 Amps), can be used
on the aircraft.

Possibly the maximum allowed flow. If the inlet water is cooler in the
winter, the demand heater might not be able to heat it up to the same
temperature as it could with warmer (summer) inlt water.

The seat power (both DC and AC) can be controlled by seat. I have found
on several occasions that even if you have a seat power plug, whether it
works or not depends on whether you paid for a business class or economy
class ticket.

I was thinking of packing an extension cord in my carry on. When my
outlet in the cheap seats (inevitably ) fails to work, I'll just run it
up to the first class section and plug it in there. ;-)

OK. But the question he asked was about DC power at the seat. The power
output of an AC outlet in the galley is not a relevant answer.

It's a bit like asking, "what color is your father's car?" and getting
response, "My brother's car is blue."
