Travel and laptop batteries

H,

I have a long haul o'seas air trip ahead of 20 hours and need my notebook for
work on board.

My battery which is near new will only give me up to 2 hours. What does one
normally do when this is the case? Can one plug it in in economy class?

Or does one have to buy another spare battery?

Thanks

What airline? What model plane?

On Delta, on 777's, 737-800's, and 767-400's, there are sockets in all
classes. They say that on their webiste. I was quite surprised.

My friend left on a similar trip (if you add up both directions) on
Delta yesterday. One direction was a 777, and the other was a 737 or
767, but the reservation didnt' say what the suffix was!!!

So I guess you have to call and ask them.

Don't know about your airline.

That will only give you another 2 hours.
