The Definitive IFE/In-Seat Power Thread (for both DL and NW)
 

There have been a lot of posts lately asking about whether or not their plane has AVOD, in-seat power, etc., so I think this would be a great addition to our forum's FAQ.

What I've done is I've gone ahead and listed out each plane in the DL and NW fleet, some defining characteristic of it and commented on any in-flight features.

That should pretty much cover it for the merged airline. Please let me know if I've made any oversights and I'll correct them

Thanks, mersk862.

This is a much-needed resource! ^

As far as the NW planes go...

You're missing the 753, which typically operates with no TV/power, except on the Hawaii routes. There, there are overhead movies shown.

Not sure if there are any 752s that run to Hawaii, and there would also have overhead entertainment options.

Also, thanks for putting the list together. A great resource for sure!

Thanks for the reminder on the 757-300...completely forgot that one.

Also, I didn't see any 757-200s scheduled on Hawaii runs, so I didn't include them as having IFE.

Thank you very much mersk862. This thread will be very helpful to people who dont know the details on their flight IFE/seat power.

I kindly request a moderator make this thread a sticky.

Canarsie has placed it in the FAQ at the top of the page.

It should also be noted the NW 757 TATL has 200W power. The 744 and A330 has 75W power. Also the WBC seats on the A330 can sent Short Messages to any email/SMS account (for a fee) while in flight. Though, I have yet to meet anyone who's ever used the feature.

Updated to include that.

I think there's some more info about NW In-seat power in WorldTraveller...I'll pick up a copy tomorrow in the WC at MSP and make the necessary additions.

+1. Much thanks mersk862

Perfect timing for my flights tomorrow! Thanks!

Great list. I'm tempted to print it out so I can be even more pickey during IRROPS :)

Great list. Now I know I can charge my iPod on the plane tomorrow when I fly back from ATL-SFO!

You may want to add the Boeing 767-400 International config (#2) with lie-flat BE seats coming out next month - those will have a config of 40 BE seats (rows 1-10) and 206 seats in Economy (Rows 15-46). IFE/PTV/Power should all still be the same as the other 767-400ER international...

BTW, great job with the list ^^

Here's the NW Domestic Short List:

- There is no inseat power on these planes
- There is no in-flight entertainment on these planes

I was just on Delta's website and found that 110volt seat power is available in first class on all 757 and 737-800 , any comments? I also found that SeatExpert showed seat power on a 24 seat first class cabin. Is SeatExpert reliable?
