When the 747s received the IPTE upgrades a couple years back, they received 120v AC outlets in first and business.

Thanks - I wonder if United959 might be able to update post #1 for that, if he still reads this thread?
Can't ever recall seeing them in Biz and First before, but confess have never really looked.
So the laptop cord plugs directly in to the outlet? As mine has an ozzie 3 pin plug I hope when 2 pin adapter added, it stays in place.
Anyone know re the CO long haul 757s with bed seats?
Did 48 hours in TG 747-400 First this month, burning up miles before we are 'enhanced' by having all overseas awards doubled, and was amazed how much work I got done.
The detailed original post has not been updated for 2 years.
Does anyone know for 747s in First if one still needs to use Empower adapter, or do they now have plug in sockets?
Also the CO long haul 757s .. does anyone know the story with those re in seat power in Biz First?

Any idea what kind of power the reconfigured 777's have? I'm flying ORD-CDG and PEK-ORD on Dec 8 / 23rd and looking to see if I"ll have power. THanks!

Can anyone confirm what type of power is on a 777-400 (EWR-FRA) and on a 777-200 (NRT-ORD)? Seatguru says AC Power for the first and Empower for the second but not sure if that is up to date. Thanks!

NRT-ORD, while there is still a chance of the older 772 with EmPower, most of the 772 are now lay-flat with AC Power.
If seats are lay-flat, you will have AC power -- if you happen to get one of the old config 3 Class aircraft (which should be all gone from TPAC/TATL routes in a few months) then it will be EmPower.

I did mean 767-400 for EWR-FRA, sorry about that.
I'll be flying J in February.
This is the seat map for NRT-ORD (772) when I view my seats on United's website. F and J have seem to have lie flats, which means there should be AC power? http://www.seatguru.com/airlines/Uni...-200_2_New.php

Ua 300 ord-hnl
Apologies in advance as I am search challenged. I'm in F and it is classified as Domestic F on a 777 No lie flat seats.
I never bring my laptop with me, only my Ipad but on a long flight I will watch all of Season 3 of Downton Abbey on my flt. My laptop plug is 3 prong. Does that work on F in the 777? I hope so as my battery wont last for 9 hours.....
