Air France 747 UD row 65

Hi All

Long time reader, first time posting.

I am flying in October on AF 747 UD seat 65L. I have heard really great things about this seat.

My question is does row 65 have power outlets as well? Seeing as the outlets are on the seat in front and 65 is an exit it might not have it.

Thanks for your help.

Thanks I saw this however seeing that the outlets are on the seat in front of you and this is an large exit row seat. My question is where would they stick the outlets?

Has anyone flown in this row that can answer the question. Sometimes seat guru is incorrect.

Thanks

Thanks

However I looked at there and considering the power outlets come from the seat in front and 65 is an exit row... where would they place the power outlets?


Has someone who has flown in this row comment?

I was a regular on the upper deck but I don't remember the power being in the seat in front. I did dislike the exit row as the seat is narrow due to both the table and screen being housed in the arm rests. Having said that its the best place to be in economy (upper deck).

As far as I remember, the power port is not part of the IFE section, but is located in the seat itself.
Paging Goldorak, who knows (and likes) these seats on AF 747s

Row 65 seats do have power ports and, as Olivedel said, they are below the seat, on the central section separating 2 seats.

You should be fine then, I found it a little tight with no room to shuffle.

Frankly, Row 10 in A380s is more narrow than row 65 in 747s... and as a 6 ft 2, 220 lbs, I do fit in both
