Well, Dell is apparently trying to make itself stand out against other laptops . Most Dell adapters use this stupid 3-prong flat jack. I have a D600 and whenever I travel to a 110V-powered country (lol. btw i live in asia), I have to bring my converter instead of my spare 110V wire, which uses the "pyramid" style 3 prong that is all too common these days. What is most annoying is that this whole 'converter' concept is pretty new to me as my old laptop used the pyramid style prongs. As for your actual question, you should follow the guidelines of the first answer, since I have no experience with these adapters (only flew CO and AA once), because I usually fly with NW, which has the normal AC plugs which theoretically should work fine with my converter when I try it out this summer.
