It's ELECTRIFYING....

I was at Dallas Love Field the other day and stumbled upon our newest feature to increase your ability to stay connected as you travel.  I'd like to introduce you to the POWER STATION!   These "Power Stations" are located around gates 12 and 14 at Dallas Love Field and are part of a test the airline is undergoing.  So the next time you are in Dallas with your batteries running low on your cell phone, laptop or ipod, be sure to head down to check out the new Power Station!DSC00290.JPGDSC00289.JPG

Southwest.com has been down for a couple hours.

Those recessed power outlets are gonna be a problem for power bricks...

You should have installed more outlets. One slightly oversize charger box can kill two outlets, so sometimes this station will only serve two people.
Also looks like outlets won't handle vertical chargers.
The outlets should be on top of the table - perhaps a power strip down the center of the table.
Put hooks underneath for laptop bags and purses so they don't clutter the top or bottom.

Did anyone really THINK about the design? Or just throw something together to see what kind of reaction was generated.

Tell you what, I'll design it for you, and you give me ten free roundtrips.

Neato!

Now only if it came with free 802.11 access... ;)

Neat! I hope this test is successful and these stations spread to other stations. It looks like it beats foraging for floor or wall outlets.
