Re: Dlombard's question, I did not catch the plane's registration number.

Back to pdxer's comments, I think the reason you didn't see #1995 listed on etour is because it only flies on Saturdays. However, now that I look on etour for #1995 next Saturday, I see it is also listed as an M83 rather than M80. Does this mean it is an old TWA plane? I thought you could always tell those by the flight number, 2800 to 3199.

I'll now be curious to see what my return flight looks like tomorrow. #1570, SFO to STL, also listed on etour as an M83.

I don't mind if they are upgrading all these old TWA planes to have power ports eventually, but it is pretty inconvenient for now to not have an easy way of knowing whether your flight is going to have power or not. I was counting on some uninterrupted work time in both directions, but didn't bring batteries, thinking that these flights would have power.
