Airplane plugs

So. I'll be travelling on Northwest and Qantas on my way to New Zealand. I never thought of this but as for physically plugging things in on a plane as a passanger. Are their outlets? Are they regular North American Outlets? Or are they specific aircraft outlets?

Silly question....but I would like to use my laptop plugged.

Unless you're business class I don't think you'll find an outlet on most planes.

Just a pet peeve when it comes to spelling this particular airline, I normally don't care. But I appreciate it

Enjoy your trip!

If it starts to run down in flight, just suck up big time to one of the F/A's and they of course will have acess to a place where you can get it recharged.

Don't do the normal, hey, I'm a pilot thing cause that will just make them laugh at you. Just be nice and tell them you have a real job like stocking shelves at the supermarket. That way they might think you are worth talking to. Of course, if you are a good looking young guy, then look for the male flight attendant. He'll be more than happy to help you in most cases.

It's funny because I know the spelling of it, it's just a "typing habbit?" to place a "u" after a "q"? ... Thanks, deffinitly looking forward to it.

I don' t recommend that you plug it in there, sounds painful.

That's uh....wow. Speachless. Hopfully this picture can explain your antics and how far one may go with them.

You sir... are a tad over the line.

Wow is right....

I'll admit that my sense of humour is not for everyone, but I think your response is a little over the top, to say the least.

Do me a favour, either stay in the single pilot market, or work on your sense of humour before moving to a multi-crew environment. It's certainly no fun being paired with a crew member who is wound up as tight as you appear to be.

This will be my last post in this thread so you can get back on topic.

Just to keep things rolling here. Habit only has one b Adam. Especially when following the word spelling

justplanecrazy · Post by **justplanecrazy** » Thu Nov 29, 2007 12:53 pm

twotter spelled access with one c,
the otherkind missed an e in hopeless and,
Adam oke spelled habit with two b's, definitely with two f's and no e, passenger with an a instead of an e and traveling with two l's.
But the award goes to clunkdriver for irony...

FABH, when I flew for an outfit "down Under" some twit miss spelt it in the regs,

... maybe we should stick to aviation critiques and help poor adam to figure out where to stick the plug.

Well, it was a long flight indeed. Luckily on the 12hr portion with Qantas I was on the 747 with an LCD screen right in front of me with videos on demand. I only used the lappy for the first flight from Detroit to LA.

As for “The Other Kind” Your humour was funny…though I had nothing to say. I apologise if my sarcastic remarks were “over the line” if you will. I thought the tennis ball picture was a bit witty if you ask me. But that’s just me and my single pilot crew. If you enjoy butt pluggin’ jokes in your two crew operation…by all means keep at ‘er.
