Is there a plan to have more power sockets available on the terrace?

I am talking in general. I would not choose to spend time in a windowless room at the top luxury hotel even if it's free and comes with all amenities.

More power sockets in the lounge as well as the terrace would be most welcome! I would estimate only 10% of CCR seats are next to power sockets. This aspect of the CCR is like something out of the 1980s.

I frankly think that adding more power sockets and replacing some of the more worn-out furniture (such as the cabana couches) would be the two biggest improvements to the CCR that BA could do in the short term.

One of the other reasons I hurried out of the Cabana yesterday was that the power sockets didn't work. On the terrace, the only ones I found were underneath the table (with the magazines) in the middle.

I used to love them, but I think I was only one of a select few as I think they were dropped very quickly.

I've never used the BA cabana - as I dont really see the point of them .

I haven't flown F this year yet so it's been a while, but I don't recall any nastiness in the cabana. I never use them when traveling alone, but as a couple they are good. It's nice when you can order your dinner and have it delivered with a bottle of Champagne on ice. It's effectively a private dining room at that point. And I always make good use of the free world-wide calling on desk phone.
