I just flew with Virgin to Orlando with a 2 year old and a 4 year old. Steam Deck fully charged lasted all flight.....but I got to play on it for about 45 minutes

Mate its hard work the long flight , my two are well travelled tbh and they have done it several times but you can never switch off so its not like you can chill and watch a movie or get a gaming session. Even though it gets easier i always think i'll get some chill time only on the flight back we do. Tried to get them to nap on the way there in May and they both fell asleep 30mins before we landed

Hope you had a good time, its not like its any easier even when you get there its all go orlando tantrums and melt downs is so worth all that money spent

My eldest fell asleep on the way back with 23 minutes left of the flight, when we had to wake him up to get off the plane it was not pretty haha. To be fair they both were good as gold on the flight, my 4 year old was in his element with the seat back entertainment and his tablet and the 2 year old just slept for most of the flight but gaming time was still hard to come by.

We did have an amazing time to be fair, the problem is they just want to go back to "mickey mouse and toy story land". They're going to get a big shock next year when they're in an all inclusive in Tenerife

I started the return process this morning but im still in two minds.

Thinking of picking up a better 65w 26800mah power bank that could allow me to get a charge or two or allow me to play whilst plugged in on the long flight.

I mean i have three year old twins so maybe its wishful thinking im gonna get all this free time on the long flight to play games but a man can dream

I'm in 2 minds reading your posts as from what you've said I don't think it is the device for you and you'd be better off with something more gaming focussed with better battery life (though none of the handhelds have amazing battery life for gaming). But personally I find the Go a game changer for all around entertainment use, and potential for general PC use, when travelling. Though I do lug around a mini-keyboard, mouse and UGreen Revodok Pro 1061 with mine.
