Tell us your route and departure date — we build the list (adapter, eSIM, insurance, gear) and time email reminders to your flight, so nothing's forgotten at the gate.
A delayed Lufthansa connection, a missed onward flight, a bag that lands a day after you do — three things the fare doesn't refund. Single-trip cover is the minimum; annual makes sense past two trips a year.
Find your aircraft on the booking or seat map first — the same flight number can be a different jet day to day. Where a cell reads Not listed, no source we can stand behind says that outlet is there or isn't; we'd rather tell you that than guess. Carry a bank for the gate and arrival regardless.
2 cells above are marked — no source we can stand behind covers them. Flown the Airbus A350-900? Tap one and tell us what was at your seat. One tap, no sign-up.
The best-equipped seat in the fleet. Business gets a universal AC outlet, USB-A, 60W USB-C fast charge and a wireless pad; economy has USB-A + USB-C but no mains outlet. Premium Economy's USB connector type isn't published — verify.
3-class Allegris jet — no First. Business and Premium Economy have AC + USB; economy is USB-only (USB-A + USB-C to the Allegris standard), no mains outlet. Economy USB-C follows the A350 Allegris spec — confirm on your specific frame.
Reactivated flagship, pre-Allegris. AC + USB-A in the three premium cabins; economy is slow USB-A only with no mains outlet. No USB-C anywhere on this airframe.
The same route can be flown by an Allegris or a legacy A350 — they are not the same seat. Legacy Business / Premium Economy: AC + USB-A. Legacy economy: USB-A with the mains outlet shared or limited. No USB-C.
One cell above is marked — no source we can stand behind covers it. Flown the Airbus A330-300? Tap it and tell us what was at your seat. One tap, no sign-up.
A mixed, partly retrofitted fleet. Business / Premium Economy: AC + USB-A. Economy mains power is genuinely hit-or-miss frame to frame — confirm your specific aircraft.
3 cells above are marked — no source we can stand behind covers them. Flown the Boeing 747-8? Tap one and tell us what was at your seat. One tap, no sign-up.
Older 747-8 configuration. Economy has one AC outlet shared between two seats and no USB at all — the worst charging setup in the wide-body fleet. Premium-cabin power isn't reliably documented, so those cells read as unknown.
No source documents AC 110V anywhere on the Airbus A340-600 · Boeing 747-400 — in any cabin.
Both types are being retired through 2026–2027 and their per-cabin power isn't reliably documented. Treat as unknown and check your seat map — older frames often have shared or no economy power.
No source documents USB-C anywhere on the Airbus A321neo — in any cabin.
Every seat has USB-A; there's no mains outlet. The connector isn't documented as USB-C, so treat USB-C as unconfirmed.
No source documents USB-C anywhere on the Airbus A320neo — in any cabin.
Two seat types fly under the same aircraft: newer Geven slimline seats have USB-A; older Recaro seats have no power at all. No mains outlet either way.
The legacy short-haul jets with Recaro seats have no in-seat power at all — no AC, no USB. Charge fully before you board, or carry a bank for the gate.
Applies group-wide: Lufthansa, SWISS, Austrian, Brussels, Eurowings, Discover, Edelweiss, Air Dolomiti and ITA Airways. It mirrors the ICAO direction the whole industry is moving toward — carriage is fine, in-cabin use is not.
The older A319 / A320 / A321 with Recaro seats have no in-seat power. Only the newer A320neo / A321neo with Geven slimline seats add USB-A — and even some neo jets still fly the older seats with nothing. On a short-haul Lufthansa leg, assume no power until you've checked the seat map.
The Allegris cabin (economy USB-C, wireless charging up front) is only on some A350-900 and 787-9 frequencies. A route can be an Allegris jet one day and a legacy jet the next, so the seat power you get is decided by the specific airframe — confirm the equipment at booking, not the flight number.
Where an economy mains outlet exists on the older fleet it's usually split between two seats (747-8) or even three (some A350), and on the A330 / A340 / 747-400 it's genuinely hit-or-miss. A short cable and a USB hub turn one shared outlet into charging for two.
Since 15 January 2026 Lufthansa bans USING a power bank in flight (medical devices excepted). So the seat outlet is your only in-air option — check the table above to see whether your aircraft has one, and pack a bank for the gate, the layover and arrival rather than the cruise altitude.
With in-flight bank use banned, the seat outlet is your only air-side charge — and half the fleet doesn't guarantee one. So the bank leads for the gate and arrival, the GaN charger handles the outlets that do exist.
The one to buy first. Under ICAO's 100Wh line, so 2 are allowed. You can't use it in the cabin on Lufthansa from 15 Jan 2026 — but you'll want it for the gate, the layover and the moment you land. Charges a phone four-plus times.
Shop on Amazon →For every seat that does have a 110V outlet (A380 and legacy premium cabins, Allegris Business). One pocket brick charges a laptop and a phone at once. Every AC outlet on a plane is 110V US-spec, whatever the airline.
Shop on Amazon →Plane seats are tight and Lufthansa's USB ports are often at the seatback, not the armrest. A 0.5m cable reaches without ending up in your neighbour's lap, and the 100W rating won't bottleneck the Allegris 60W ports.
Shop on Amazon →For the shared-outlet aircraft — the 747-8 economy outlet is one AC socket for two seats. A cube turns it into four USB outputs. It's a wall charger, not a power strip, so it won't be treated as a fire-risk item.
Shop on Amazon →A 20,000 mAh USB-C bank under 100Wh is the single most useful thing to pack. You can carry two, and it covers the gate, the layover and arrival — where the outlet-only rule can't touch you.

On most long-haul aircraft, yes — but it depends on the exact plane and your cabin. The A380, both A350 variants, the A330-300 and the 787-9 have AC (110V) mains outlets, almost always in the premium cabins; economy is usually USB-only or a single outlet shared between two seats. The newest Allegris cabins (A350-900, 787-9) add USB-C. Legacy short-haul A319 / A320 / A321 jets often have no in-seat power at all.
Only the new Allegris cabins — the A350-900 and the 787-9. Allegris Business has a 60W USB-C fast-charge port plus a wireless charging pad, and Allegris economy has both USB-A and USB-C. Every other Lufthansa aircraft (the A380, legacy A350, A330-300, 747-8) is USB-A generation with no USB-C.
It varies by aircraft. Allegris economy (A350-900, 787-9) has USB-A + USB-C but no AC mains outlet. A380 economy has slow USB-A only. The 747-8 has one AC outlet shared between two seats and no USB. Legacy short-haul jets often have nothing. If you need to charge in economy, plan around USB — a mains outlet in coach is the exception, not the rule.
You can carry one — up to 2 per passenger, each under 100Wh — but you cannot use it in the cabin. Since 15 January 2026 Lufthansa Group bans using a power bank to charge a device in flight, and bans charging the bank itself, with an exception only for essential medical devices. Keep it on your person, in the seat pocket or under the seat in front — not in the overhead bin. The seat outlet is your only in-air charging option.
Often not. The legacy A319 / A320 / A321 (ceo) jets with Recaro seats have no in-seat power at all. Only the newer A320neo and A321neo with Geven slimline seats add USB-A, and even some neo aircraft still fly the older seats. There's no AC mains outlet on the short-haul fleet. On a Lufthansa short-haul leg, charge fully before boarding.
Allegris is Lufthansa's new long-haul cabin, rolling out on the A350-900 and 787-9 from 2024 onward. It's the best charging on the fleet: Business gets a universal AC outlet, USB-A, a 60W USB-C fast-charge port and a wireless pad, and economy gets USB-A + USB-C at every seat. The catch is the rollout — it's only on some frequencies, so the same route can be an Allegris jet one day and a legacy jet the next.
Where a mains outlet exists it's 110V US-spec, like almost every airline seat outlet worldwide, capped at roughly 75–100W. A standard ultrabook charges fine; a high-wattage gaming laptop can trip the seat breaker. On Allegris the 60W USB-C port is fast enough for most laptops on its own. Bring a small USB-C GaN charger and you're covered on any aircraft that has an outlet.
