Answer 1 :
There are no outlets on airplanes so the answer is no. Just charge it fully before and you can get almost 7 hours out of it. But I wouldn't think that you'd be on your laptop for 8 hours straight, the entire flight. Charging it full and you'll be ok.
Answer 2 :
See if your local stores have a piece of equipment called Hyperjuice. Hyper juice is an external battery designed for Apple products. I'd suggest best buy or the Apple store.....
Answer 3 :
Some airplanes have outlets and these could be standard AC outlets, or 12V car outlets (like for a cigarette lighter). However, it's going to depend entirely on the plane you're flying, but longer flights do tend to have planes that have outlets.
Answer 4 :
Sometimes airplanes have outlets, and sometimes they don't. They may be normal AC outlets (like in your house) or DC outlets (like in your car). A good way to make sure you can charge is to get an external charger or extra battery, rather than rely on airplane outlets (which aren't always there, especially on smaller planes)
