We are going on a long flight (HNL-->NRT-->BKK) and would like the option of powering our MBP. I can certainly get the travel adapter, though I have that Kensington widget that can change plugs. (The iGo Everywhere power has been a godsend for the little devices.)

Is there any way to get power doing these tremendously long trips? And no, I wasn't going to shell out another $3000 for business class.

Thanks.

Did that too.

You think that'll last 13 hours?

Then get a third. I can't think of anything that you could use on JAL.

Meh, I knew you'd say that.




Any other ideas welcome (finding other outlets, etc.).

Turns out you really only need two, max. The rest of the time you're too wiped out asleep.
