Unfortuantley, no. They only have air, sometimes a phone (not much anymore) and a light. Maybe a radio with a headphone jack.
No the FAA does not permit it on passenger airplanes.
I don’t think in the air, but on the ground I think they do get plugged in to 110 or 220V. I used to work at an FBO and the place did do some janitorial work on the planes (this was in the 80′s), and there was a guy who went over complete with what I believe was a normal household vacuum cleaner to vacuum down the aisles, there must have been some place for him to plug it in……..but again this was at night with the plane docked at the terminal.
I guess you are just a first class kinda guy. LOL!
Wow, what a bunch of WRONG answers! Including from a few folks who are usually correct!
Most seats in first and business class do have power for laptops, etc. Some use a regular car type outlet while others use one specific for the aviation industry. You can buy adapters at most computer shops, Radio Shack, etc. Some Delta wide bodies have 110 volt 60 Hz outlets in their Business First class cabin.
Some airlines also offer power in the coach cabin, particularly the first few rows behind the first or business class cabin.
Bostonian is right, but it does really depend on the airline just what their equipment has. If the airline has a “First” or “business class”, then it is in their best interest to have the outlets that cater to business clientele. When you make your reservations, find out what kind of aircraft is flying that route. Then ask if these aircraft have the capabilities you seek. Most pax aircraft have what is called the “Ground Service Bus” with outlets that have 115 volt/60 cycle output. The cycles are reduced from the aircraft’s 115V/400 cycle power from the generators. Even our cargo aircraft (my employer) have 115/ 60 cps output receptacles in the cockpit and pax area for crew convenience and cleaning crews.
There are also some regular household sockets in the walls by the galley doors and a couple in the cabin for the cabin crew to plug in their vacuums when the cabin is cleaned.
They are like a regular 110V 60Hz socket but they run at 400Hz, so don’t plug anything in there.
Hiya,
I am not to sure what these people are talking about on some decent airlines you will get in biz class a plug place for your laptop. On a virgin/BA flight on a higher class to JFK you get the folllowing
