Great point Charlie. I actually checked SeatGuru for Delta's
domestic fleet and none of the domestic planes that I looked at had
power. Anywhere.
I often use SeatGuru on longer flights (anything over 2 hours is
worthy of looking at SeatGuru, IMHO). Unfortunately, due to
summertime travel and airlines cutting the number of flights in order
to fill the flights they have more completely, its getting much more
difficult to get a seat you want. And getting an upgrade is nearly
impossible if you're not a platinum level member.
I was on four flights last week (ATL-TPA-MIA-CLT-ATL). Every single
one of them was completely full. Even the airport parking was full!
I can't wait for the fall when things will calm down a bit...
Now if only there was a way to find power plugs in airports, that
would be awesome. Some have gone to the extent of even removing
available plugs from common areas! O'Hare is notoriously bad, as are
Heathrow and Gatwick. Atlanta is surprisingly easy to find power,
especially with the Delta "relax & recharge" stations.

True, true, Dean (on many planes not having power in coach), but
really that
was the whole point of my sharing seatguru. You can literally know
for sure
if your flight will have power at your seats.
More than that, I should have pointed out that they also have a
comparison
guide, where you can tell at a glance which airlines (and specific
planes)
DO have power and other desired amenities in coach:

They also offer a Laptop Power Guide,

info to help
you understand the issues and opportunities regarding getting
laptop power
on a plane
