Overview

Now you'll never lose your work or miss the end of a DVD movie because your battery runs out at 35,000 feet. The MagSafe Airline Adapter will keep your MacBook, MacBook Pro, or MacBook Air juiced throughout your flight. Sleek and light, it works with in-seat DC power ports available on many commercial airliners — both EmPower ports and 20mm ports (using the included adapter). Check with your airline regarding availability of in-seat power ports.

Because it's a MagSafe adapter, you'll continue to enjoy MagSafe convenience just as you do at home or work. The magnetic DC plug ensures a tight connection and enables a clean break from the power port if there is undue tension — preventing your MacBook from being pulled off your tray table if someone accidentally trips over the cord.

Important notes:

  • Using the MagSafe Airline Adapter provides power for your computer but does not charge the battery.
  • The MagSafe Airline Adapter is not compatible with automobile power ports.

    No flaws. All Flaws are USER RELATED!!
    • Written by AL from Chatsworth
    • Feb 26, 2008

    Wow. It works great. It comes with adapters for both kinds of power ports found on air planes. Watched DVDs and played games the whole cross country flight.

    For those who claim that there are flaws because they left the 20mm adapter behind, it is not Apple's fault you are an idiot and did not check to make sure you had all parts before leaving the plane. If you left your power cord in a hotel, is that Apple's fault?? NO! Then why is it their fault if you lost the 20mm adapter tip?

    Also for those who complain it does not charge WHO CARES??? Why are you using your battery on the plane if you can plug it in? If you walk on the plane with a full charge and plug it in on the plane for the full time you are using it, then you leave with a fully charged battery.

    People, it is really simple: it is not Apple's fault you leave parts behind and it is not Apple's fault you are illiterate or you did not bother to read the instructions.     …More

    Adapter use
    • Written by GM from Lake Forest
    • Feb 19, 2008

    Great adapter! Users should be able to leave with all the parts they stated with, It's not Apples fault they forget part of it in the Power-Port. If it were welded together then I'm sure there would be like reviews griping about how it wasn't good for EmPower ports and they had to buy two. Proper techniques and responsibility go a long way to user satisfaction. If it were bullet proof, with every conceivable reinforcement, it would weigh a ton and cost 3 times the amount. It's great for what it is in the limitations of airlines power supply restrictions (they can't supply every seat with 500 watts of power). It's simple and takes up little room. Good job apple. …More

    Works.

    Does exactly as it says. It isn't Apple's fault if you don't check if you pulled the adapter out of the wall.

    Plug easy to loose & will not power MacBook pro 17"
    • Written by PG from Allen
    • Feb 3, 2012

    Had an earlier MagSafe adapter with a 2007 MacBook Pro 17". It worked great. I could use the MacBook Pro 17" for 9 hours straight on a plane. However, I lost the plug and had to buyba new model since Apple does not sell just the plug. I also got a 2009 MacBook Pro 17".

    Last week on a 4 hour flight, the green light was on, the battery indicator showed not charging, yet after 3 hours the computer shut down. I did not even get a notice that the battery was low. The MacBook Pro acted like it was on running out of the battery and not extra power was supplied.

    Worthless.     …More

    Haven't even had a chance to use it...
    • Written by RL from Ewa Beach
    • Jan 2, 2012

    I bought this about 3 years ago and was so eager to use it because I travel overseas often. Since then I haven't been on ONE plane that has this type of plug. I can't even tell you how well the product works because I haven't had the chance to try it out. Maybe someone else can shed some light on why I haven't encountered the right plug on the plane, but stick to either DC, usb, or even the regular plug for the wall. Unfortunately, I'm disappointed in my purchase... …More

    Too easy to lose the 20mm (cigarette) adapter
    • Written by MS from Benton
    • Oct 28, 2011

    The power cord uses a separate adapter to plug into the 20mm (cigarette) adapters commonly found on airplanes. It is very easy when pulling the power cord out of the 20mm socket to leave the adapter in the socket. Apple does not sell replacement adapters separately so you have to re-buy the entire cable and adapter. …More
