subject: Can I Charge My Laptop While On A Plane? [print this page] With so many more portable electronic devices available for people, this device needs to be charged. Increasingly, some airlines are offering customers the ability to use power outlet on which they can charge their devices.
The only thing worse than carrying around a laptop in your hand luggage is carrying around a laptop in your hand luggage that doesn't work. But on regular flights from Detroit to Fort Lauderdaleyou're now able to charge you devices using sockets that are available on the plane. And it's true on most other routes and flights from Dayton to San Francisco.
But sometimes you'll get on a plane, get your power cord and laptop out, be playing or working happily and suddenly realize that you do not have a socket available to use. To avoid such a problem in the future, check and see if flights from Las Vegas to Cancunor a variety of different airline do offer the ability for customers to charge their devices. It's not surprising that some airlines do not allow their passengers in the economy class seat to charge their electronic items. If they did then it would be a great drain on the airplane's batteries, and would be very costly to the airport.
So when you contact the airport they will quite likely tell you that you will need to fly first class in order to benefit from a power socket being situated below your seat. Some companies like SAS and Virgin have under seat sockets as standard, but you'll need to do a little research before you fly to find out exactly which airlines are friendly to chargers. And when there is not a charger, ask a stewardess why not, and ask her to pass on the message to her superiors. This is how change happens.
