Is this a first/business class thing? I've never been on a plane with USB power outlets (though it has been about 6 months since I few last).

Fly on long haul flights, especially internationally with screens on the back of the seats. There is usually USB slots right below it.

I am based in europe and my experience is basically on international flights. Maybe it doesn't apply in the USA.

The flights that didn't have USB outlets were shorter anyway, so the battery would hold.
