You just need a proper plug adapter for your charger. The charger itself is a "universal" 100-240 volt charger.


If interested, Apple has a "world Travel Kit" for the power supplies:

Although any basic UK outlet to USA outlet adapter would work.

Can you confirm that is true for my older model Mac Air?

And is there a specific spec for the adapter I should buy?

For the Apple kit, just look on that page for compatible Macs. There is a rather large list there.


And as I said, You can just get a wall outlet adapter which is just fine for any product, and quite a bit cheaper. Just search on Amazon.
