I'm wondering where to find (or even if it exists) a USB male to ac power female adapter. I've googled the heck out of it and can only find the inverse...
The reason I need this is because the airline I'm taking has USB power sockets but no regular outlets!

Forget about it. You are talking about going from 5 volts 500 milliamps (USB) to 115 volts (AC). This means with typical inverter efficiencies and losses, you might get a few microamps. That's not enough 115v power to wake up anything but Apple's AA battery charger in it's lowest power saver mode. Does the airline offer 12 volt outlets? There are a lot of inverters available to go from 12v to 115 volts.
