falls out of airplane nest

Update:::::::::::Update::::::Just got back from my first business trip with the adapter. Both this and the new 65 watt adapter do not support connection in an airplane plug on a 777. I've had problems with Anker adapters before, with their quad port USB adapter etc on a train. Apple's 5W adapter fits a lot tighter and doesn't slip out at all, so it's not just about socket failures. This is a poor design that doesn't hold up well in loose sockets. The only way to use an adapter is to plug in a 3 pin power connector that fits snugly and then I could plug it in. If I had known earlier, I would not have bought this adapter.:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: : :::: :::::::: Update: I have the original Atom and the power port is port 5 with pd. They both work fine when I plug them into the main USB-C power port (the left one with the lightning bolt icon) and also work with the right USB-C port. This Nano only works with the right USB-C port , but with the left USB-C port, when you plug it in, the computer makes the sound of adding a USB device, and then won't charge. It appears the chip is being negotiated differently than previous chargers, making it less compatible. While that doesn't make it useless, I'd rather have a charger that works on all the ports their newer chargers don't have. :::::::::::::::::::::::: :::::If you already have a pd 1 atom, you probably shouldn't upgrade. It looks a little better and smaller, but there's no point spending another $30 when you already have it. If you need a second charger and imagine you can get that latter too, or if you don't have one of the little Valium chargers to charge your laptop on your commute etc, then yes it's decent.
