MacBook Air M3 2024 - Can't use world travel adaptor kit with provided charger

I own the World Travel Adaptor Kit and have used it several times with my MacBook Pro as the USBC charger has the interchangeable duckhead. I just got a new MacBook Air M3 and am traveling internationally next week, but the charger that came with the computer doesn't have a duckhead. What are my options?!

I just bought an M3 MacBook Air for one of my kids, and noticed it came with a dual USB-C charger with a standard plug. However, it is marked for input of 100-240 V, 50/60 Hz meaning it will work worldwide with a simple travel plug adapter for your destination outlets.


Having said that, your Mac can be charged via the USB-C ports in addition to the MagSafe port, and since it uses USB-PD you can use any USB-C PD charger providing sufficient wattage. So, you can charge your new MB Air just fine with the USB-C charger for your MacBook Pro with the duckhead adapter kit (assuming you still have it).
