I know one can purchase an airline power cord with the magnetic end for the macpro powerbookd but are there any power supplies that will charge the battery as well as supply power to the notebook? These were readily available for the older mac powerbooks. The issue is getting one with the magnetic connection.
Got a tip for us?

There is not enough voltage/amperage (Wattage) supplied by the airplane to charge the computer.

But the "airline" power plugs only supply 15v. If they have regular power sockets, then good on them.

For the price of the business class seats. It'd be cheaper to buy 5 additional batteries and hire someone to carry it for me.
True.
He's thinking about charging battery, and I am offering the option that will let him charge the battery.
Actually business class are typically few times economy tickets. I been on some trips where the tickets are around $7500, a lot more than a few batteries. And no, I am not paying that out of my pocket thankfully.
I just flew from Vancouver to San Francisco to Aukland to Sydney via Air New Zealand and was planning on buying that adapter for my laptop. Good thing I looked into it because there were NO plugins in Economy or Economy Plus....you had to be in the business class to plug your laptop in.
Glad I didn't buy the adapter.

Thanks for the comments. I am a 1K flier on United and I do understand the options during international flights. When i fly international I am usually in Business or First. The issue is for most of the domestic flights business and first do not have the regular plugs for the charger. Mark
