American uses a "cigarette lighter" style outlet delivering 15 volts of direct current. On most aircraft*, a power outlet is available at each seat in First and Business class, as well as selected rows in the Coach cabin. Outlets may be used to operate laptop computers, CD/DVD players, charging cell phones and other devices with a maximum 75-watt capacity. Outlets are located on your seat console, or mounted to the seat frame below your seat cushion. Look for the "lightning bolt" symbol on the overhead bin rows containing powerport-equipped seats. Splitter or Y adaptor cords may not be used. Only one device is allowed per outlet. System power is available when the green light on the outlet is illuminated. For detailed powerport locations by aircraft type, visit the Our Planes section on AA.com. *Powerports are offered on all Boeing 777, 767, 737, Boeing MD80 and Airbus 300 aircraft. Most Boeing 757 aircraft offer powerports. Use of powerports is permitted only when the aircraft is above 10,000 feet in altitude and the flight attendant announces that personal electronic devices are allowed. The use of powerports is at your own risk. American is not responsible for loss of data or damage to personal hardware or software. For WHO?: From aa.com, regarding powerports:

You'll need the adapters with a cigarette lighter tip. SeatGuru can tell you more about the AA 767-200. For PDA, its easy-peasy to login (especially iPhone and iTouch) and Gogo help desk can support you via chat even before you go through the login process. Before your laptop dies, you'll need to log out of that device before moving to the PDA. AA has outlets at all F/C and B/C seats and quite a few spread out (but not every row) in Coach.

It's unbelievable). Putting the cart before the horse. Pretty stupid to have wifi but no outlets (it’s 2008 and most airlines don’t have outlets for each seat. It’s unbelievable).
