2 edits | Forgot to mention, just bring a 1-3 power adapter. You know those little horizontal bars that have 3 plugs. Just bring one of those, ask to unplug someone's laptop for a second and then you and two other people can share one plug.

Why do they even place outlets with just two plugs these days? Home builders should know better these days.
4 should be the standard. Everything we use needs juice. |

Re: piff
Heavy duty commercial codes. Outlet, box, wire, and labor for licensed electrician. We're talking VERY high traffic area.
How long to you think your closet wiring job would last with dozens of people each day plugging, unplugging, and generally abusing your wiring?

Re: .
I use to do that, but it got taken by Customs a year ago as a security risk... oy.
Now my battery needs replaced, I think I have 20 minutes of juice left on the thing without a plug.

If people setup their laptop correctly and bring along an extra 12 cell battery they can wait for a long time in an airport. |

I can get wifi at the airport, but rarely get power.
I can ride the Acela and get all the power I want, but no connectivity.

And increase the circuit amperage to 30-40 instead of 15-20, use AWG10 or 12 instead AWG14 copper wire, and throw in a lot of money.

Re: piff
Thats why people post and inquire about things. To find out. True ignorence is those who dont ask questions and stay in the dark about things. So Thank you, Apparently you dont know anything either. |

He does know something about it, he knows its a union job. They prob have 10 people to work on one outlet, and they charge by weight, color, how much they sweat during install.
That is absurd amount to charge no matter how you figure it. |

They also install every 8 feet in a house vs article in airport. Heaven forbid you buy a cheap powerstrip to double power outlets in a room. *gasp* |

said by markopoleo :He does know something about it... I have worked in many airports before. It is not a simple matter to just "run some wires". There are MANY impediments to construction in an operational airport.
That is what makes it so expensive.
