What Happened: Early AM flight out of LGA to get home. Neither power outlet functioned in my row. FA had no idea. As a photographer I use the outlets so I can be connected to power on the MBP and use power intensive software. It still lasted the whole flight though.
Compensation: 5000 Skypesos
I'm sorry, I don't mean this as a personal attack. But to complain about outlets going out on a 90-minute flight seems a bit petty. My experience is that batteries will easily last 90-minutes, give or take. I understand that perhaps some older batteries might die a few minutes earlier, but certainly nowhere near the point where any compensation should be due. It's not like this was a transcontinental flight with no power for 4+ hours. Worse - you even admit it lasted the whole flight and STILL asked for compensation. Why?
