They DO have power ports, as well as loop based IFE for you to enjoy, if you take a break.

Are your Sure? AFAIK, Dream time seats do not have power ports.

Re: Powerpoints on QF 743's

I was leaning towards not as well, but I guess it's possible they updated them (given these things do go to the US occasionally). I stupidly was in a dreamtime seat on the way to CGK about a month ago but didn't think to check if they had them.

Anyone have any recent experience on the 743's?

I can't recall the last time I flew 743 if it has power in J, but according to QF's web site - the 743 do NOT have inseat power. This is also confirmed by seatguru.

I have the 747-300 IFE manual right in front of me and can clearly see the section on laptop power. Perhaps only some of the 747-300 have them - I don't know. Guess you'll find out tomorrow.

Re: Powerpoints on QF 743's

I concur that the QF 743 does have in-seat power in the J cabin. The Dreamtime seats did not originally have in-seat power when first installed in the 744 and 763 aircraft, but it was added at some point in time and the 743s definitely do have it now.

I'm pretty sure I haven't seen any - I tried to locate one as my laptop was dying. I must admit I wasn't trying too hard - any excuse not to do work!

If all else fails, an adapter from the shaver point in the Toilet, with an extension cord running to your seat?
