Every pacific crossing I've been on in the last three years (all 747s) has had AC to my seat. As far as I could tell all the seats had it. Large jets have auxiliary engines that power the coffee makers, the ovens they use for cooking in the plane, the lights, etc. You can normally see the exhaust for this engine on the very tip of the tail.
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe this article is defeated by the actual fact of the matter that some planes do have AC to all the seats.
- joshwa 16y agoHaving outlets at all the seats isn't the same thing as having a large number of them drawing power at the same time.
