Power outlets in airports wiki

AirPower Wiki looks like its just getting off the ground, but if you travel much, you know the hassle of finding a power outlet in an airport. Hopefully it grows fast and furiously.

Would be nice if they added wifi hotspots, and wep keys so that i wouldn't have to run airsnort on repetitive trips to the same airports. However, i applaud the effort and look forward to using this.

Really? I've never had a problem. Seriously.

Hasn't been a problem for me either. OTOH, this could rank very high on the "magnificent obsession" scale.

The bigger issue for me isn't just finding an outlet, but finding one near the terminal I'm leaving from. So this may or may not be helpful..

See also seatguru and airlinemeals, which have been discussed here before, I believe. Airwise has good airport guides (down to which restaurants are in which concourses) but isn't quite as specific as the location of eletrical outlets...

It's easy to find an outlet. Just look for someone sitting near a wall/post typing on their laptop. Finding an available outlet on the other hand is sometimes a challenge.

You poor people can duke it out in the concourse. I'll charge my laptop in the private lounges, thank you.

What mikepop said. To get around the challenge, carry one of these.

FWIW, I actually have a miserable time finding an outlet in most airports.
