KembaraXtra – Travel Terms: adaptor / adapter
A connector used by travellers so devices such as shavers, hairdryers, or laptops can plug into different electrical sockets (or sometimes telephone systems) abroad where standards differ. The entry stresses that travellers should carry appropriate adaptors when essential equipment use is required, because socket types vary widely, and it adds that international laptop wireless connectivity reduces the need for some adaptor-related solutions.

KembaraXtra – Travel Terms: add-on fare
Fares used to build through international fares to/from points not otherwise published in airline tariffs, and also the concept of an amount added to a base fare (for example a “domestic add-on”). The entry explains that once calculated, such fares are treated like published fares, including deriving maximum permitted mileage using mileage add-ons; where tariff rules allow mileage construction, the lowest combination principle applies.
