Maybe i should just buy a new extended battery, that seems like the best way to pass the time with a few movies
As I fly international (TPAC) more often than domestic, I would pick a flight that has AVOD (CX, KE, BR, SQ, AC, etc.) So the fact that the economy seat doesn't have any power doesn't bother me much.
On the shorter flights, your laptop should generally last at least several hours. Then read, eat, sleep, + take-off and landing should easily occupy your time. You can always find a place to recharge your laptop at the connection point and that should get you ready for the next flight again.
