So Do Planes Have Charging Ports?

Most airports have charging outlets on their terminals, however, on some airplane unless you are traveling first or business class, most budget and low cots airlines do not have charing outlets or USB ports on their aircraft seats.

Even though if an airlines has power outlets, that will not guaranty that the specific airplane you will board will have the charging outlets, so it is better to check the exact airplane of your flight and what type of outlet it is available on the airplane .

Types Of Outlets Available On Airplanes

I have seen pretty much two type of charging ports that is available on airplane:

• USB power outlets: these types of outlets are built in airplanes seats entertainment systems or armrests, you will only need a standard type-C charger and you are good to go., I personally prefer this one.
• In-seat power outlets: these are the standard power outlets, these outlets are built into seats, and can be found almost on any modern airplane.
• Some airlines provide also portable charging stations in case you wanted to charge several devices one time.

Which Airlines Have Power Outlets and USB Ports?

Delta Airlines

JetBlue

Are There Any Alternatives ?

If it happened that you will be flying on airplane that do not have power outlets or US chargers, here is s one alternative to consider:

• Bring a fully charged power bank with you on board, ( double check your charge at the airport ).
• Ensure that your device is fully charged and turn the airplane mode when you are onboard to conserve some battery life.
• Ask the flight attendant to charge your device, if there are no outlets in the airplane.
• close unnecessary apps and reduce brightness of your phone.
• Close the WiFi whenever you don’t using it.

Final Thoughts

So are there chargers on planes? Yes, most airplanes have power outlets and USB ports.

However; that won’t guaranty that your electronic devices will be charged, so if you want to make sure that you can charge your device on an airplane you should checked the details before you book your flight.

If you are traveling first or business class you are more likely to have a powder outlet, without even worrying about.

Even though a power bank is alway a handy device to have inside your carry on when traveling economy, as in some airplane even if there is a place to charge, it might not always work, or you have to share it with a follow passenger.

We hope this helps
