I find that it is now more common to find power ports on your plane than to not find power ports. In some instances the ports were added a while ago and aren’t in the easiest of places to find. When I find a plane with “hidden power ports,” I have a unique trick to find the right opening in the outlet.
Hidden Power Ports And How To Find The Plug Opening
How To Find The Plug Opening
Sometimes the ports are way below the seat, others, between the seats way down low under the arm rest. When the plug outlets aren’t easy to locate, it creates this awkward situation where you are putting your head down by your seat mates feet or worse. Have you ever run into this awkward situation? If you do, take this simple step to find the outlet opening.

Bottom Line

“Take a picture with your phone”
In this day and age, if you’re a guy and the person sitting next to you is not, putting your phone down there to take a pik to help you locate those outlets, will probably get you labeled as an unsavory character and get you kicked off the plane.
Pathetic, but true.
Now if you can get to your seat FIRST, before your row companions show up, that’s probably the time to look; otherwise, if you’re out of power, pull out your coloring book.
Some people actually travel without their own power pack? Lmao.
A small 5k juice pack is light and can be had for about $20. If you’re too cheap to carry your own power then it’s your problem if you get on a plane equipped without electric.
Here’s a trick – turnaround and look at the seat behind you to find ports.
