- bagels 3y agoMany also do not. Maybe even most?
- HDThoreaun 3y agoThen you get to use it for 2 hours. Most domestic flights only have two hours or so of time when you're allowed to use your laptop.
- mmcclure 3y agoI typically fly one airline so it could just be their planes, but I don't remember the last plane I was on that didn't have outlets[1]. And certainly the folks that can drop $3,500 on this are more likely to either be in business class or flying "nicer" airlines, so plug access feels like a non-issue to me. [1] That being said, the number of times a plug has been able to support a charging brick directly is...miniscule. They're usually so worn out that they can't support the weight, so I have to carry the extension just for that reason.

- yurishimo 3y agoThis is not true. Most seats have a 120/240v receptacle that can keep laptops charged while in use. You’re forgetting this thing uses a mostly passive M2 chip. Not to mention I’m sure they designed it so it could be powered from the USB c ports on their laptops. The headset won’t use anywhere near the amount of power you seem to be implying.
- sterlind 3y agoThat's voltage, not amperage. Just because it's a 120V receptacle doesn't mean you can draw large current. My laptop charger gets booted off the grid pretty frequently on a full plane.
