We're due to be flying longhaul, shortly, from Manchester (UK)
to Doha ( Qatar Airways ), then Doha to Manila ( Philippine Airlines ).
Because of the length of time flying, I was wondering if it was
permissible
to take on board ( & use ? ) a lap-top computer ? We will be flying
cattle-class. I am not bothered about an internet connection ( probably
not even possible, aboard an aircraft ?) .... but, also, wondered (
providing
laptops ARE allowed on board ) if they could in any way be powered up
via an onboard connection. My laptop only has about 2 hours battery
charge
, before it needs charging again. I asked at our local computer spares
store
& they didn't even know if there was any kind of power-lead/transformer,
for
laptops, that can be used on 'planes .... or if 'planes had any kind of
socket &
or universal power connection for laptops.
Any info GREATLY appreciated !
Cheers,
A NON-frequent flyer.
