Virgin Atlantic - USB charging in economy

[pherlopolus]

Just wondering if anyone has recently flown VA to Florida in economy and is there a USB charging port in the IFE?

trying to weigh up the risk of kids running out of power to their tablets against buying a portable power pack!

I'm sure they will be fine, but I dont want to risk 'the look' from SWMBO, followed by 'I told you to sort that!'

www.seatguru.com will reveal all.

They specifically state that the USB ports must not be used for charging devices in the safety briefing. How they would know I don't know...

They caught me last time :-)

In premium economy there are specific USB charging points, if you are listening to music or looking at photos off your device on the big screen its OK to be charging, just not OK just to be charging.

I'm going to make them use airplane mode for a day and see how they last
