Etihad Airways Etihad Guest - In seat Powerpoint in Diamond F

I will by flying in F next week and was hoping fellow FT'ers could advise if the in seat power suits Australian appliances?

I think it does fit, but I haven't had much luck with the power points working very well. I've been told by flight attendants that you have to tell them you are going to use it so they turn on some other switch or something. I never understood that as the light always seemed to be on it. If you are concerned just buy a cheap australian to american adaptor.

Thanks. Will carry my US adaptor as well. I guess there are no USB power ports?

Australian plugs will fit all on-board sockets in Y, J and F.
J and F also have USB sockets which can be used to recharge devices only (ie it wouldnt give access to whats on the device you connect through the entertainment system). But this USB Port might not recharge all devices. For example, it doesnt really work with iPads as they require a higher current.

Thanks. I don't want to charge the devices, just power them. I'm fairly certain Qantas/BA also just power and not charge.

Yeah I've never had any luck with the USB charger thing even with my iPhone. I just have a USB plug that plugs into the power port.

Red light = no power being supplied
Green light = power being supplied

If the light is red, yes, you should ask the flight attendants, who should then switch power on for you.

Power available in all classes on EY, btw. People don't often know this in Y, as it is under the seats on many aircraft.
