Maybe take another plug in device (eg. phone charger) and "test" the plugs. That should tell you if it is the plug or if your charger doesn't like the VX juice (perhaps it is lower wattage, slightly different frequency - if that makes a difference??). My guess is that an aircraft AC power supply comes from an inverter and is a square wave...
Has your charger been picky with it's power supply in the past? I'm guessing you always plug it into a wall, right?
