Hope it works on the flight home.

That is definitely too much and you were simply overloading the outlet.
The nice thing about Delta outlets is that they will self-reset if you unplug and plug back in. I have a Dell laptop with a 90 watt external power supply. If I have the laptop configured for 'high performance', as soon as I plug in, the outlet turns off. If I do the trick a previous poster mentioned and remove the battery so as not to activate the charging circuitry in addition to the laptop's own needs, the outlet stays on. If I first put the laptop in power save mode, then plug the power brick into it, it does not reset the outlet. So I believe the threshold the seat outlets will support is in the 70 to 80 watt range.
