Without more details, that's a hard question to answer. How long is it actually taking to charge? Are you plugging the iPad into a wall outlet using the charging block that came with it? Or are you plugging it into a computer? Or using an iPhone charger? Or using some other charger?

MMeg thanks for help. I'm using a charger I'm not sure I think it's a phone charger. What is the best quickest way to charge. My iPad at 6:00 this morning was 12% IT's now 3:05 and its at 34%.

It will take forever with the iPhone charger. If that's all you have, plug the iPad in then turn it off. Do not try to use it while it's charging. Get yourself an iPad charger.

Best of luck.

Use the power adapter that came with your iPad. Your iPad Air requires this 12W power adapter: http://www.apple.com/shop/product/MD836LL/A/apple-12w-usb-power-adapter.
