Not to mention the battery drain.

It's been a long time since I've flown on a plane without at least a USB port to plug into, most have had full outlets to plug into lmao

It's been a long time since my charger has actually stayed plugged into one of those worn-ass outlets in a plane.

Also, I don't want to have to juggle multiple charging devices in the tiny cramped space where I'm already stressed and miserable.

Budget flights don't have that kind of luxury.

I take short flights the whole year (like 6-10 per month) and I never had the USB chargers.

Those are like 1h flights tho
