US Airways redux

Ok, having thoroughly disendorsed (think misunderestimate) US Airways in the last post, it occurs to me that I should pass on some useful information.  So, here we go, US Airways A330 has for some electronic boxes powering the AVOD under seats A, C, F, H.  Yes, that reads as no leg room practically.  Now, it actually is for a good cause since they also enable passenger power supply on international flights.  But it is worth keeping in mind that these are actually Empower type power receptacles.  So, you have to get an adapter, something I completely forgot about on the way over.

The AVOD was not bad.  The fact that they made you pay $5 for the earphone is kind of stupid, but ok.  I can let that slide.  Airlines are going for the extra revenue.  But it's interesting that US Airways don't turn the AVOD on until much later.  The selection of movies also left something to be desired.  These were all a bit old.  I had expected at least something from earlier part of the summer.  But definitely not Singapore.  Just remember, you get what you pay for.
