Hilliard, OH | power I'm not sure about Delta...but most of the flights I am on have airpower receptacles every row or two. Besides, most business grade notebooks give you at few hours of runtime (My Sony TX gets about 5 on average). Since they need to be powered down for takeoff and landing, I don't see any domestic flight that would drain a fully charged battery, unless, of course people are lugging around high powered notebooks. | |

I'm guessing you don't actually fly all that much then. If you did, you'd be *very* familiar with how frequently you get stuck at airports - whether by design or by accident (delayed flights; layovers; missed or delayed connecting flights; etc.) It's damned rare that there are places for you to charge your laptop while in an airport. And, even if you happen to be in an airport that might have power receptacles available to the public, they are rarely available in abundance (and, in some airports, you have to pay for the privilege of using them). So, even before you get on your flight (it *is* a direct flight, right), you've already burned who knows how much of your battery's limited runtime.
But, yeah, maybe if I'm flying EWR to LAX and there's NO delays (no delays at EWR???), a five-hour charge might be enough to last if the plane doesn't offer in-seat charging.
