I really appreciate how Southwest makes an effort to make power more available to their passengers at their gates, apparently on their own dime.
Any new airport construction or renovation that doesn't keep this factor in mind is extremely shortsighted and ignorant of consumer needs.
When the building plans are submitted they are required to have a certain number! And they have the correct number or more that code requires! So how is this not enough? Because they do not have one for you? Are you paying for the electricity that you would be using? I do not believe that they need to provide you or me for that matter an outlet.
