The other 20% of the time I have to unplug and replug until my light stays green (also, why does hitting that little button that sticks out turn my connection red?). The other 5% seems to be okay.

I seem to have better luck with 3 prong cables.

UK plugs fit the "universal" AC plugs. They are rarely loose on domestic US planes. Get yourself a UK-US adapter. I carry one and it works like a charm.
