 From the aa.com website:

*Powerports are offered on all Boeing 777, 767, 737, Airbus 300 and 
Fokker 100 aircraft. Most Boeing 757 and Boeing Super 80 aircraft offer 
powerports. Powerports are not available on aircraft with flight number 
ranges 2800-2999.

There aren't power ports at every seat, necessarily, but there do seem 
to be quite a few.  Probably a 767 SFO-JFK, 777 JFK-LHR.  If you call up 
AA reservations, they could probably help you get assigned to a seat 
that has a power port or adjacent to one.
