The whole plugging in on the plane thing is funny. I almost never need to plug in a device - even on my 5+ hours flights to/from Hawaii. Who are these people that (seemingly) leave the house with their device batteries at 11% everyday? Certainly, not plugging in until in the air is no problem... especially after sitting with nothing to do in the terminal for an hour+ right beforehand.
I have a Samsung Galaxy 9. Its battery is poor at best...and often needs a charge. The USB C no longer works either so I need to finangle a wireless charger for it to charge. This is not always successful.

Or back home
Agreed. Now if we had the digeplayer this would be less of an issue. I have acquired a tablet during the past year which has helped with my inflight movie consumption.

What will the pleasantly militant AS FAs harp on now!?
Seat belts, bags under seats, keeping dogs in carriers. There's plenty.
We also might see a higher % of PDB too... maybe
