Hey folks!
I travel quite a bit and started running into charging issues while on an airplanes when I moved to a 100W charging brick.
Did some research to find out most in-flight seat power is limited to 75W and even then, might be shared across a row.

This seems to explain why my power supply (I have tried multiple but are at 100W) will toggle on and off throughout a flight. Only time this does not happen is when I am in a pod seat and have been told those run at 100W per pod.
I am moving to the MacBook 16 inch and know the 144W power supply will not be happy on most airplanes if any at all.
I am thinking of purchasing a 67W power supply and keeping the screen dim (I know the new MBP should have a nice battery, but I like being prepared) when I am in the air.
So, short story long... Any third-party suggestions for an under 75W power supply? If it had multiple ports, I would not complain so I could toggle it between charging my iPhone and trickle charging my MBP.
Also, if anyone has additional data about airplane power wattage, etc. or solutions for dealing with such I would love to learn more about it.
Thanks!
