Electrical Plug Outlets

Hello,

Flying United and Luftansa next month to Europe. Last year I flew AA and the electrical outlet in biz class seat had a "Cigarette lighter" type of outlet not a regular plug.

Does the Biz class on United and Luftansa have these same type of plugs?

Where can I find an adapter to convert a regular plug?

Thanks!

If just for a mobile device this should be fine:

The type of plug depends on the type of plane. If you know which plane it is, or if you post the date and flight number, you would probably get better information.

Seatguru.com is also pretty good at showing what's available on the type of aircraft you are flying on

There are several types of cigarette lighter type power adapters in use.
