I realize this might not be news to some people, but it is to me. In fact, I stumbled across this when I was looking to check out the smaller 85Watt power bricks for the MacBook Pro that Engadget reported on.

As someone who occasionally travels, being able to power to power my gadgets while in transit is something I depend on. Not having any way to power my MacBook while on a plane is somewhat irritating-particularly when I have to fly overseas. It's usually because I don't end up on a plane with in-seat power, but a couple of times, it's because I didn't have the adapter.

Fear no more, Mac travelers. The Apple MagSafe Airline Adapter will allow you to plug your MacBook or MacBook Pro into either an EmPower or 20mm port. It won't charge the battery, but it will be enough juice to run your laptop. And it doesn't require hacking a power brick as some earlier attempts at this functionality did.

At a price tag of $59 (with shipping included), you can't go wrong. Now, if I can just convince alaska airlines to make power available on their planes, I'll be all set.
