Due to a recent issue involving a powerport on an American Airlines Boeing 757, the American Airlines team
will proactively deactivate all powerports on the domestic fleet. The deactivation will begin on Wednesday,
September 1, 2010, as the team inspects all 104 aircraft. It is yet to be determined how long the powerports
will be deactivated. We realize this is an inconvenience and the issue will be resolved as quickly as possible.

Powerports
On some aircraft, your seat may be equipped with a DC power outlet, using a "cigarette lighter" style outlet delivering 15 volts of direct current (and up to 75 watts). We
do not provide adapters, but they are available for purchase on the Duty Free cart internationally where we offer duty free. On select B737 & B757
aircraft, your seat may be equipped with an AC power outlet, using an outlet similar to a standard U.S. style home outlet. These AC outlets provide 110 volts of
power. On most aircraft*, a power outlet is available at each seat in First and Business class, as well as selected rows in the Coach cabin. On select
B737 & 757 aircraft, there is an outlet available on each row.
Outlets may be used to operate laptop computers, CD/DVD players, charging cell phones and other
devices with a maximum 75-watt capacity. Outlets are located on your seat console, or mounted to the seat frame below your seat cushion. Look for
the "lightning bolt" symbol on the overhead bin rows containing powerport-equipped seats. Splitter or Y adaptor cords may not be used. Only one device
is allowed per outlet. System power is available when the green light on the outlet is illuminated. For detailed powerport locations by aircraft type,
visit the Our Planes section on AA.com.
*Powerports are offered on Boeing 777, 767, 737, Boeing MD80, and B757 aircraft. Use of powerports is permitted only when
the aircraft is above 10,000 feet in altitude and the flight attendant announces that personal electronic devices are allowed. The use of powerports
is at your own risk. American is not responsible for loss of data or damage to personal hardware or software. |
Cell Phone Policy
We know how important it is for you to keep in touch with family, friends and business
associates while traveling, so we're pleased to be the first airline to offer increased "talk time"
on the ground. On all departing flights worldwide,you may use your cell phone, laptop
computer, two-way pager and PDA until the aircraft door is closed. Upon arrival on most
fleet types* with American Airlines, American Eagle and AmericanConnection, you may use
your cell phone during taxi-in as signaled by a flight attendant announcement. Use of cell
phones is not allowed during flight per Federal Communication Commission rules.
*The new arrival policy applies to flights arriving in the United States, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. This policy is not available on American Eagle turboprops.

Electronic Equipment/Personal Devices
All portable electronic devices must remain off and properly stowed during taxi, takeoff, approach and landing until the plane is at the gate and the seat belt sign is off. Cell phones may be used on certain aircraft after landing in the U.S., the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico, once authorized by a flight attendant. Your flight attendant will tell you when you may use approved portable electronic devices in-flight. Devices with transmitting capabilities may only be used if the transmit capability is turned off and can be verified by a flight attendant (example: combination cell phone/PDA devices or laptop computers with wireless capabilities).
Note that wifi (802.11) devices may be used on aircraft equipped with our inflight internet service when authorized. To learn more see availability and policies or refer to American Way Magazine onboard.
During flight, never use cell phones (to make or receive calls), two-way pagers, radios, TV sets, remote controls (example: DVD, CD, game, or toy remote controls), a cordless computer mouse, commercial TV or cameras. Radio transmission using personal communications devices (example: walkie-talkies, two-way pagers, or wireless headphones) is prohibited, as it may interfere with the aircraft's communications and navigation systems. Devices that are not allowed to be activated at any time are those, including e-cigarettes, that could cause damage to equipment or diminish the design, function, or capability of the aircraft.
You may use audio and video devices only with a headset. Use of still and video cameras, film or digital, is permitted only for recording personal events. Photography or video recording of airline personnel, equipment, or procedures is strictly prohibited.*
Note: Hearing aids, cochlear implants, heart pacemakers, or approved medical devices such as ventilators and respirators are accepted during all phases of flight.
*The electronic device policy may vary on American Eagle and AmericanConnection. Please see a flight attendant for specifics.
