Laptop Power Guide

Choose a seat with laptop power for your upcoming flight

Navigate to the airline & airplane type for your upcoming flight using the left-hand menu system. If you aren't sure of your airplane type, read our guide to identifying your aircraft.

If your airplane has laptop power, a power port icon will display in the In-flight Amenity description section. There are three different power port icons; each one is described below. If no icon is displayed then laptop power is not available on this particular aircraft.

It is important to note that even if the airplane you're flying has power ports, they may not be located at every seat. We illustrate the availability of laptop power at an individual seat with a black dot. An example can be seen at left, where the laptop power ports are only located in rows 25 and 27.

Surviving Family Vacations

How do you survive holidays Together?

Pack plenty of distractions for the kids-crayons,games, an iPod-to avoid the "Are we there yet?" syndrome.

Don't be a slave to a schedule, sucking the spontaneity out of your holiday.

While some parts of the trip will interest the whole family, it's only fair to indulge every one's taste.Building in downtime is important when travelling with smaller kids.

Don't view your day as a marathon but a series of shorter events with resets in between.Vacations are an ideal time for the family to bond. So leave the family squabbles behind.

Healthy Way to Fly

Stay-healthy tips (John Balmes, professor of environmental health sciences~University of California, Berkeley) :

Keep Clean

University of California, San Franciso, study reports we're at increased risk of catching cold and flu viruses during flights, due to the close quarters. Wash hands often, and if you're worried, wear a protective mask that's labelled N95. It screens out 95 per cent of airborne particles.

Bring Water

Researchers found bacteria such as E. Coli, know to cause duarhoea and nausea, in the water from galleys and skin in one of every seven planes.

Clear your Earrs

Changes in air pressure can suck the eardrum inward, and that hurts. A decongestant clears nasal passagesso pressure dosen't build up.

Get Up

When you sit for too long, blood pools in the legs and may lead to potentially deadly clots. Wear loose-fitting clothes and walk around the cabin an hour.

Jet Set Savvy

First-class comfort on a shoestring.

LOWEST PRICE needn't mean worst quality, and not all economy seats are the same.
Here's how you can make budget travel more comfortable:

Babies on board
You get more leg room in the bulkhead rows because they make room for carry cost. The catch; you're unlikely to get a seat here unless you fly with an infant.

On the map
Most airlines have seat maps that show the bad seats (as in the ones that don't recline because they're in front of an exit row). Use a travel agent who can confirm your seat when you book.

Fly blind
Want a window seat?
Avoid the row forward of a wing.

By numbers
Be wary of following the advice of other travellers on the best seat numbers. Airlines can shift things around.

Plug in
Emirates has large economy screens with a choice of 500 movies and games. Some Airlines have seats with power sockets for laptops in economy, but you'll need to book ahead.
