Answer 1 :
Unfortunately you will not have access to a power plug unless you were flying in first class. You will just have to find an alternative method of entertainment on your flight. However, both carriers will have in-flight movies to watch to pass the time. As far as your airplane type goes: You'll more than likely be on an 767 or 777 with Delta. And from Paris to Moscow an Airbus A340 or a 777 with Air France. That can be found in your reservation in the details. Also if you have the flight numbers, you can go on www.flightaware.com and type those flight numbers in. The site will display the stats on it's ontime performance and it always lists the type of plane. But on either carrier, and either plane, economy seats do not have A/C power plugs for you to use.
Answer 2 :
From New York to Moscow, you will be on a Boeing 767-300 aircraft, for I know because that is the only type of aircraft Delta operates from New York to Moscow. Unfortunately, you will not be able to charge your laptop on the Delta flight. On the Boeing 767-300, the only outlets are in first-class. Sorry...and for the Air France flight, you will not have power to your laptop in economy. Your aircraft will be a Airbus A330.
Answer 3 :
You do need to know what type of plane and exact model number of the planes you'll be on, check with Delta to find out. Air France doesn't appear to offer in seat power ports on any of their planes in economy or Tempo class. Delta does offer in seat power ports on many of their longer range planes in economy class, but on some planes only in the forward economy sections. If the power port is ac power you will not need any special adapters, if it is dc or empower you will need an adapter. Check this website to see what planes offer power ports, I'm sure Delta can tell you what model plane you will be flying on: http://www.seatguru.com/airlines/Delta_Airlines/Delta_Airlines_Boeing_767-400_Trans.php
