Power is first come first served? is this true?
Upon boarding (737-8), I and my seat mate that were seated in 1A and B, found that the power outlets to charge our phones were not working. My seat mate inquired about this to the F/A and we were told that they were not working, as we were still on the ground and that they would be working once we were airborne. After take-off, I inquired again as they still were still not working. The flight attendant came back and told me that the caption had advised that the power was first come first serve and that I was out of luck due to the fact that others were using the available power.
Customer Care verified: The comfort of our passengers is important to us, and I am sorry to learn that you were unable to use the power outlet in First class In-seat power is available during boarding and inflight; however, the in-seat power does have a limited capacity. The power supply system limits the quantity of power to protect itself from overheating.
