Was the device owned by the airline, or by the airport? Airlines have no control over what the airport installs (or allows a private vendor to allow).

lol K3SRK
there are other ways to charge ur phone now aint there.

If it were me and i dont travel much, i would have more than one fully charged back up battery. Also i would be eye balling the maintenance people, gift shop etc....ill find a power source if i have to. Ya pay enough any way least they could do is let ya charge you phone

I just flew last week, and will again next week. Before I go, I make sure my Q9m (with big Moto battery), my bt headset, and laptop are all fully charged just in case.

It just blows me away how many people have to plug in at the airport, ever hear of planning ahead? Take your car charger too so you can charge in the rental on the way to the airport too.
