Great idea. Thanks for mentioning this.
However, on a long flight, such as yesterday from LHR to LAX - the power brick can run short.
Nonetheless, a power brick is better than the present situation of not being able to charge the phone using the aircraft's power outlet or USB port, or holding the connector by hand until enough charge is in the phone.
I think you misunderstood my use of "power brick." I was referring specifically to an AC to USB-C adapter, like the one that ships with your phone. I've had zero problems using those to charge my Nexus 6P.
