obviously not. Feel free to update it, anyone who has been a member for 90 days (or more) and has 90 posts (or more) can edit Wiki.

OK, I'll change 0/152 to 2/152 and add one for 319 to make the math right.

Probably a good idea to keep tab on tail numbers so we don't duplicate entries.

The people who are sitting in E- are the most price sensitive, I don't think they want to pay the extra cost, even though it wouldn't really be much.

I really don't understand why inflight power is so important to some people. Even when it is offered its not guaranteed that it will work properly. I always just bring a external battery, they've gotten so cheap. The only usefulness I see of a power outlet on a domestic flight is for charging a laptop.

Short connection with no opportunity to top up battery, already used external battery on previous long flight? Just came from all day business meetings with no opportunity to top up battery and already used your external during the day to get through your meetings. I could go on and on with reasons why but think you get the idea.

Hi! Since the new F mods and the power mods corealate to wether the plane has power, I've updated the wiki, there are many other aircrafts that could have new F but these are the only ones that are confirmed.

I can get a lot more work done on a transcontinental flight with power. If using the wifi and doing processor-heavy work (coding, editing photos, etc.), even my high capacity battery gets drained in 3-3.5 hours. I can run the screen brighter and the processor at full speed with power.

And I'm not aware of a good external battery that works for my needs. Charge a cell phone or tablet? Sure. Charge my laptop? Nope.

Yeah sometimes you just can't help but board with a depleted battery. I'd say this is an issue for me maybe one flight out of ten. The more you travel on business with tight connections, the more likely it is to be an issue.

ISP lets you sit anywhere in the terminal too instead of crowding around the 4 outlets on a stand in the gate area.

On an A320 today...still no power. The people in the row in front of me are pointing out how stupid it is to have PDE and have no plugs on the plane.
