In case you didn't see this: Virgin America airlines has taken first flight

[netmouse]

Boing Boing's Xeni Jardin posted a description of the interior design and flight experience of riding the virgin flight of Virgin America airlines, a brand new airline that's apparently doing some things right, including offering IM between seats, google maps and other internet services, and power plugs for every (comfy) seat.

Airline Seat Power

American Airlines has had power in coach for years. It's not every seat, but all you have to do is request power when you select your seat.

Virgin has it for 2/3 of the seats, reachable from every seat. AA has it reachable from something like 1/2 the coach seats, and not enough for all of those. Also, I believe Virgin has 120VAC, which means a few cube taps provide outlets for everybody.
