The flight I'm on was advertised as having power outlets, but it looks like these ones have been programmed to turn themselves off as soon as I plug anything into them. So now I cannot do the work I had planned on doing on this flight.

"Win" based on vibes, includes a decent settlement, a refund after a demand letter with no need for an actual claim, etc.

• Update 2025-10-29 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): For a refund to count as "winning":

  • Must be more than 50% of the ticket price

  • Must be real money (not vouchers/discounts, as vouchers often don't work)
