Travel Forum / Travel Types / Air Travel / May 2005Web site with airline headphone plug types?
Different airlines use different headphone plugs. I would think that at least some of the airlines use ones used by others. What I'd like to see is a page showing what they all are for the different planes. Don <www.donwiss.com> (e-mail link at home page bottom). Don't think it's that easy. I believe it's not the airline that make the decision about the plug but more the plane builder. I know that northwest has different plugs in different planes. But till now I only saw two different kinds on all my trips. the one that is the normal headphone plug and one with a extra pin next to it. But you can get converters at all the mayor airports so that should help you I think.

But until I get on the plane I won't know what plugs they will have. Or are these kits with lots of different plugs? I have headphones from AA and Continental. In June I will be flying on Alitalia and Air France. So I was wondering if I can bring along one (or both) of those headphones. I travel very lightly, and don't want to lug around something I don't need. Usually my interest in the movie is so low, that I can't see paying to see it. But if I had the headphone I'd probably watch, at least on the Air France ride back from Europe. If I fly more I'd buy the BOSE noise canceling ones.

While owning your own is great, are you sure that you pay for them on an international flight? Ours were free on Air Canada from Toronto-London and return a year ago. rieker5.nospam.ever@hotmail.com ha escrito: > >In June I will be flying on > > Alitalia and Air France. > > While owning your own is great, are you sure that you pay for them on an > international flight?

And if they are free on the way back then I will happily not lug around any headphones. I will be staying in three cities, so I do have some travel between them. I do not check luggage, so my entire trip is only carry-on luggage. Don <www.donwiss.com> (e-mail link at home page bottom). > Different airlines use different headphone plugs.

Seems like there are really just three basic kinds: 1) Normal 1/8" stereo 2) Dual 1/8" mono 3) Some teeny stereo one smaller than 1/8". Are there others? I'd guess two small adapters would pretty much cover it. miguel  SignatureHit The Road!

On some recent US flights, I think on a 757, it had a pair of jacks at the same spacing as the dual 1/8 mono but of different sizes, and my dual adapter was too big for the smaller jack. I plugged my 1/8 stereo plug into the larger one and it seemed to work OK. > > Different airlines use different headphone plugs.
