How to charge your iphone when traveling by plane?

I know my iphone will discharge half way through my trip. I need options on how to charge on iphone? Should I purchase a portable iphone charger? Can the white wired cord be brought passed security/ as carry-on? Where can I charge my phone?|||Yeah you can bring the cable with you. I just buy an extra battery and use it on the plane. You can also use a battery with a solar power recharger.

If you are really desperate- many older planes have a power outlet in the bathroom. You can pop in and get a quick charge that way :)|||A HyperMac Micro can charge your iPhone. http://www.hypershop.com/Hyper鈥?/a>

|||Firstly your phone should be in Airplane Mode for the flight, even if you plan to turn it off for periods. Airplane Mode is the first item in Settings. Aside from most airlines insisting on this it will actually reduce your power usage.





Yes you can take the charge cord through security. You can take any of the following through security as well.





The cheapest and most versatile option maybe to get a phone case that has an extra battery in it.

Some seats have charge points. You'd need to check with your airline what kind they provide. Seatguru have a good guide for inflight charging.

I did hear about a charger that charged from the headphone socket in the seat arm. However it doesn't appear to be available anymore.

Naturally having your phone as charged up as possible before you leave will help. If you are driving to the airport, an in car charger will help keep you topped up before you get there.





If your lucky you might find a standard socket in the airport departure area. I've sat on the floor next to one for 20 minutes charging my phone in the past.





I also seem to recall seeing a paid for charging area at an airport. Check with your airport though.





Happy trails!|||You can just buy one of those portable chargers! At my work they sell them! You can visit our website by clicking on the link below! You just plug it in and it chargers your iPhone! I use one myself in times of emergency or travels!
