Today Apple released their own Airline Power adapter. It has the following description:
Sleek and light, MagSafe Airline Power Adapter works with in-seat DC power ports available on many commercial airliners — both EmPower ports and 20mm ports with 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're already enjoying at home or work. The magnetic DC plug both 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 of your tray table if someone accidentally yanks the cord.
Important notes:
Please note that our Car/Airline adapter continues to offer a better solution.
1) It DOES charge the battery in Airlines.*
2) It IS compatible with automobile power ports.
Although our Car/Airline DC adapter does not come with empower plug (sold separately), our next model will include the Airline plug that is integrated with the adapter. It will continue to offer the above benefits and more.
* Provided that you are not fully taxing your Macbook Pro to it's limit. Otherwise, it will charge your battery for about 90% of the users.
