Most flights I've been on had outlets and/or USB for charging, I've been leaving airplane mode off for every flight for years now

Come to think of it, I'm pretty sure battery drain is about normal anyways when I don't plug it in, the radio must eventually switch to a lower power lower search frequency at some point. Either that or the tower searching drains your battery thing is about as overblown as the leaving GPS on thing
