Have an 11 hour flight on a Boeing 787-8 soon and was wondering if I would be able to plug my laptop's charger in an economy seat?

Can someone confirm or refute?

Surely it depends on which airline.

It's a United Airlines flight from Heathrow to Houston, Texas.

Individual 110v power ports are available in BusinessFirst. In Economy Plus and Economy, 110v power ports are shared between seats.

Make sure it isn't a powerful charger as the plane's systems cannot cope. I have a 125 mA charger for a laptop which will not work even in a new 747-8. A 90 mA charger worked fine.

Or take a charged-up portable power stick with you.
