Thanks for the responses to my question. We are back from our Chicago trip. We flew ONT to PHX, then to ORD(changed planes). Coming back ORD to DFW, then DFW to ONT(changed planes). On one of the flights going - and on one coming back - we had new aircraft. Coming back, on ORD to DFW - our aaircraft was one year old. It had screens/monitors in the back of every seat - AND - it had power charging outlets at every seat. 
A small green light designated the outlet. I think the plane was a 737. We were in basic/economy seats. I might add - on the ORD to DFW leg -the seats were roomier than on the DFW to ONT.

We will merge this into the appropriate HELP DESK thread. /Moderator

752 IFE Question
I’ve done some searching, but can’t find the answer.
If an aircraft has WiFi is it a given that it will have GoGo Entertainment streaming video? Trying to advise family about IFE on AA684 11/23 PHX>LIH. Scheduled aircraft is a 752 with a seat map that has MCE. Also, if it does have it, will the streaming video continue over water after the internet cuts out?

How to tell difference between plane versions...
I'm flying out of SYR in March, with a layover at CLT, and then flying to RSW.
As people here probably know, there's two different types (or more) of each aircraft; one is normally newer and has more modern technology than the other.
On the way there, I have a flight on an A319 and an A321. Here's the map for each one:
(A321)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(A319)
Sorry for the large images folks, I couldn't find a way to make them smaller!
How do I know which version plane I'm flying on?

... Figures they put me on the crappy planes. Just another nail in the coffin for AA and this is the first time I've ever used them.
It does say here: https://www.aa.com/i18n/travel-info/...nes/planes.jsp
That both A319's have power though, so I'm confused.

Stinks, but I guess I should bring my Mac or iPad as a carry on. Was probably going to bring my Mac anyways.

Not all LAA planes have IFE so cool your jets. Having it stream on your device is a better choice, would rather use my iPAD then a small screen anyhow. Also if you are worried about battery life, purchase an external battery for $30 bucks, I've never had a problem with my iPAD running out of juice on PHX-CLT flights.
