I have mixed feelings on them...like power but find the underseat boxes restrictive.

On the plus side, I do really like the extra leg room, and the power option is fantastic. I no longer sit there trying to hoard power while waiting for my flight to board.

So until the aircraft is retrofitted, is it normal to have power plugs, but they only provide power while on the ground? Because that was my latest experience. Haven't flown many with upgraded seats so far, but the ones I have been on had new seats but no outlets. Then this latest one added the outlets but not while in flight, so I'm not quite sure what to expect.

An aircraft with power outlets installed but only working on the ground?? Weird. If it has an outlet, it is done being retrofitted. It would have to be a maintenance issue or your device/charger not functioning properly. Either way, that shouldn't be expected.
