Hi. The original charger cable I received has a MacBook MagSafe compatible end at one end and a round male plug at the other end. It is not like an audio jack as it has a small hole at the end. I want to charge the MacBook with a power bank but it does not have suitable round socket, only USB. Any adapter or cable I can use? Please excuse the simplistic language and hope it makes sense!

I am not familiar with the power adapter you describe. The "MagSafe 2" adapter included with the 2015 MacBook Pro consists of an integral power adapter and nondetachable cable, and a separate, detachable AC power cord that can be substituted with a "duckhead" (a region-specific plug without a cord). See below.

If neither one resembles the power adapter you have then I don't know what you're using.
There have been a couple variants produced over the years. They are described in this Discussion: Adapter for Macbook Air 2010 to connect to a jump start car charger.
I have never seen an airplane with the type of power receptacle used by Apple's MagSafe Airline Adapter.
The "Zolt" company quietly discontinued that product, probably for good reason—see the comments.
Thank you again, much appreciated. I have one of those, but I also, at the time of purchase of the MacBook, received a single cable with the round connector at one end and the magnetic part that goes into the MacBook socket at the other end.
The MagSafe power adapter requires an AC source. You will need an inverter.
Thank you. Is there no such thing as an adapter that will join the two leads?
The original Apple MagSafe adapters have the cable permanently connected to the charger brick, the only connection points are the MagSafe plug and the AC connection to the mains.
Such a cable did not come from Apple.
Now I understand, thank you. I think it actually came with an older power bank and now I have a new one, it doesn't fit. Many thank all.
