Can I charge my phone on Emirates flights?

Yes. Bring there is a USB port at your seat on 777s and 380s so bring a USB charging cable.



Yes, you can charge your phone on virtually all Emirates flights in 2026, but the method has become more regulated. Every seat on the Emirates A380 and Boeing 777 fleet is equipped with universal power outlets and USB ports (typically USB-A and increasingly USB-C in newer cabins). However, as of October 1, 2025, Emirates implemented a strict ban on the in-flight use of power banks. While you can carry one power bank (under 100Wh) in your cabin baggage, you are strictly prohibited from using it to charge your devices or charging the power bank itself using the aircraft's power source. This safety measure was introduced to mitigate the risk of lithium battery fires caused by "thermal runaway." Therefore, while you can rely on the built-in seat power to keep your phone alive for a long-haul journey, you should ensure your device's charging cable is easily accessible in your carry-on before you board.
