USB-C flash drives aren't particularly hard to find, and they make
for not too much money. That's what I use going back and forth between a Dell XPS and older hardware. I also use it on Android phones.
A USB 3.0 A-C adapter from a reputable manufacturer costs less than $10, and even

It sounds like your old MacBook Air is several years old (i.e. old enough not to have a USB-C port). If that's the case, no, there's no way to adapt the newer charger to your older laptop.
