Default Questions for a Continental guy.....

So I'm flying LGW - IAH on CO 0005 on June 1 and I'm trying to find out if my aircraft is a 48/235 or 50/235 configuration. Any way to find out?

Also, any way to know whether or not there's power on the 753's, or if you're in the process of adding it? Long story, but thats the question.

Thanks for your help. I have a lot of time to burn in an aircraft on that day and I'd really like to be able to get through a whole season of 24.....

You can go to Welcome to SeatGuru! Your Guide to Airplane Seats and In-flight Amenities and go to Continental B-757-300 for a diagram of the seat layout which includes any seats that have a power port.

On second thought you must mean B-777 or 767 because a 757 doesn't do LGW-IAH.

Very aware of SeatGuru, awesome site......

Unfortunately according to SeatG there are no power ports on Continental 757s.

but.....

When flying on Continental in April I was on a 757 that HAD a power port but according to their website didn't. When I emailed Continental about it someone emailed back and said that they were in the process of retofitting their entire fleet and until all aircraft of a particular type were upgraded they weren't going to advertise any. Makes sense.

Anyways, maybe I'm weird, even at well over 6' tall I'd rather have a seat with a power port now than an exit row.

You're right, I'm on a 777 from LGW to IAH and then a 757-300 from IAH to SEA back to ANC.

Long day in an airplane.

As far as I know LGW out of IAH is always done by 777. The only European destination served by 764 out of IAH is Amsterdam.

Flight 5 on June 1 is 48/235 and shows 20/86 open seats.
True story with the power on 753. All 752 have outlets now, but 753 is "hit or miss". Sorry.

Indeed a long day in an airplane. Hope you enjoy it.
Thanks for flying Continental
