Why are there holes in the prongs?
The metal contacts inside very old electrical outlets had bumps which interlocked with the holes in the plug. This kept the plug from easily falling out of the outlet.

Before plugging in this device, be sure to ". Since the warning label must be removed to plug in the device, it is much more likely to be noticed and read than if it were on page 1 of the instructions.

It depends on the model of the plane that you will fly in. Some of them have outlets, but only in the front of the plane. Some of them have outlets on every 3-5 seats, and some of them may not have outlets at all unless it is for the flight attendants to plug in a coffee pot or something.
