Power in the air?

Posted on December 22nd, 2009 in universal chargers by admin

With more and more worldwide travellers needing to work and bringing their own entertainment during flights the demand for suitable power sources is ever growing so your power lasts for the entire flight not just the first few hours.

Unfortunately connection availability still depends upon the class, airline and even the age of the plane you are flying on.  Older planes are being modernised but even then some airlines only fit connections in the first dozen rows in the regular cabin so getting a seat as far up front as possible is a safe option. First Class generally always has power although the available connection may differ between airlines. For example Virgin Atlantic provide a conventional AC socket for in flight power in Upper Class and Premium Economy whereas other airlines provide power connection in the format of an Empower style connection.

Don’t rely on the cabin crew knowing anything about the power systems on their planes, reading through some forum discussions on the topic one flyer was informed that connections were not available in their class only to find a connection under the seat!  Information as to plane configurations is available at www.seatguru.com but it is best to check with your airline when booking as to the availability of seat connections and reserve your seat accordingly.

Power Chargers Laptop Travel Charger will provide you with both the empower style connection and the conventional AC connection preferred by the likes of Virgin to ensure you have a power source; it also have a connection for car cigarette lighter sockets so you can keep working/playing in- car.

If you are still worried about having power during your flight and don’t want to rely on a connection being available at your seat then the PowerStar Laptop Power Plus may well be the solution for you! This portable power solution will give you 3-5 hours of extra power not only to your laptop but also simultaneously to your mobile phone, MP3 Player, digital camera and many other portable devices without the need for a power connection; simply charge it before you set off and use it anywhere!

With everyone focussing on Green and the environment, switching to energy efficient light bulbs, reducing the power required for things left on standby and generally encouraging people to turn off and unplug it was inevitable that the Mobile Phone industry would have to stand up and take note of what has been annoying us all for years – Why is it that every time you upgrade your phone you have to get a new mains charger and car charger!
