Do international flights have outlets on them?

Posted by admin on December 27th, 2009 and filed under international flights | 3 Comments »

I’m flying to south africa tomorrow and I havent been on an international flight in a while so I can’t remember if international flights have power outlets on the planes or not? I don’t want my ipod to die midway there. Also I have a stop over in london, do they use different outlets than the US? because if no I could just charge up at the airport in heithro. Thanks

The UK has a different power outlet than the USA. I believe South Africa is different than the UK and USA. Most long haul international flights have DC power outlets. Look for an adapter for the device.

What airline are you flying? What type of plane? Go to Seatguru to find out if there are outlets and at what seat they are on.

    Last I looked, no, no outlets on international flights. Maybe one of the newer planes does, but most of them don’t.
