Anyone flown to the Caribbean with BA?

And if so, do you know if they have USB ports in the seats?
We are due to fly this week and my ancient Kindle needs recharging after 5 hours. Im not sure whether to take a power back to charge the battery or if I'll be able to do it on the flight.
Thanks for any advice

Download the Kindle app on your phone/tablet/whatever other tech you're taking with you and you can read on that when your Kindle dies.

Thanks, but the screen on my phone is too small for me to read a book on it comfortably.

I really don't like watching films on the plane and would much rather just read a couple of books.

Yes they do but id also take a power bank, they need to go in hand luggage.

Interested in this thread?

Thanks @DizziLizzy. That's useful to know. I possibly will take a powerbank anyway, but the last couple of times we've been away we haven't used it.

The one we went out on worked, the one on the plane back didn't for some reason. So id take the power bank to be safe.

Thanks, that's a good point.

I wouldn’t rely on it - sometimes they change planes around so you get an old one without plugs or the power doesn’t work.

I'd second that and @Forty85 's comment.
