Charge iPod on Virgin Atlantic?

[mobile73]

Hi

We are flying Virgin to Orlando in August. Does anyone know whether there are USB chargers on each seat to charge ipod and iPad? I have looked up online and the information is very confusing as to which planes offer this.

Will make it a lot easier of I know the kids entertainment won't stop!

Thanks

You can purchase a portable battery very inexpensively. I bought a mobile "juice" pack for when I travel and can charge my phone 3-4x's with it. Its no bigger than my phone.
The one I got was about $38 and I use it in the parks too!

With this you will never need to worry if power is supplied!

Thanks. Already bought a 13000mah juice pack so have that option but would be easier if can just plug it in and give me some peace!!!

The re-fitted planes do have a outlet to plug into- however Virgin make an announcement that its not to be used as a charging facility, so not quite sure what the point of it is.

We flew Virgin P.E. last year and we had a USB charger in each seat, but I don't know that the same applies to economy.

It's so you can play things from your apple product on the IFE screen, they are specific that they aren't for charging and I don't think they carry enough power to charge just to maintain whist in use

don't need it to charge as such, just to keep the thing on.
