I love to fly, but there’s one thing I dread during the trip: finding electricity in the airport.
Finding a vacant power outlet in an airport is sometimes like trying to find a needle in a haystack. Unless, of course, you’re in a rare airport that made this a priority in the terminals. (Thank you, Charlotte!)
Recently while flying home from San Francisco, my airport electricity frustration reached an all-time high. While waiting to catch my flight, I pulled out my laptop to connect to my smartphone’s hotspot connection, only to discover that both of their batteries were almost drained. None daunted, I took out my tablet PC, only to discover it was running almost on empty as well. So there I sat with three devices badly in need of charging before a flight halfway across the USA.
Fortunately, I managed to find one free outlet. But that hardly solved the whole problem, as I had to pick and choose which device to power up in my limited amount of time.
But…..thanks to Lifehacker, I’ve stumbled across a great solution:
FYI, speaking from past personal experience, the TSA will not confiscate a power strip in your carry-on.

Desperation is a powerful thing, Susan! What I would have given for a power strip that day before our flight!
