The Boeing 787 Dreamliner interior needs plugs
I’m sure many of you have seen this photo of the new Dreamliner interior floating around the internet. It’s definitely one of those succulent pictures that just speaks for itself.
But as cool and futuristic as that interior looks, it’s not going to help me much unless there are outlets in every seat where I can charge my laptop. Battery technology keeps getting better and better, which is great because now I can really make use of a four hour plane flight, but anything much longer than that and I’m in trouble.
I don’t doubt that Boeing is smart enough to throw outlets onto their newest dream plane. In fact, I haven’t even Googled to see if they’re in the specs. OK, that’s a little irresponsible, so hang on… a cursory Google search in fact turns up that Airbus has power outlets in every seat on their A380, but nothing mentioned about power outlets on the dreamliner.
That’s disappointing. Come on people. This is like having an audio jack in a car. Oh wait, nobody does that, either.

Plenty of auto manufacturers provide auxiliary jacks with their car stereos these days.
Yeah, this is true, although it really should be a more standard feature than it is now.
Still, I was making a point!
Not only audio jacks, my ’06 BMW m5 has an ipod connector which will still leave my audio jack free – though why the aux port is behind the center console is beyond me.
