Quick question, does the £29 airplane magsafe adaptor from Apple work with the MBP core i7 on VS?

Cheers

Yes I think this is the one you're talking about and is also the one I got and it worked fine.

3 points though:

1) It won't charge up your mac - just hold it at the power level it was at since it was last charged, so it may be worth while checking you've charged it fully before you board.
2) On the outward and inbound flights I last took with VA I had to ask the FCM to turn the seat power on.
3) It can take a good 30 seconds or so before the power seems to get through to it and to your mac, so be patient.

Have a good trip!

Yes the Magsafe cable does work onboard the VS planes - I have seen many people use them.
