Travel adaptors ( this information to be used as a guide only)

- Type C (Europlug): Used in Portugal, Spain, France, Switzerland, and Italy.
The single best budget solution available in Australia is a Universal All-in-One Travel Adapter with USB Ports.
The Best Single Adapter Option
Jackeroo / Jackson / Cygnett Universal All-in-One Travel Adapter (or any equivalent generic "4-in-1 World Travel Adapter" with slider pins)
- Approximate Cost: $15 – $30 AUD (Available at JB Hi-Fi, Big W, Kmart, Woolworths, or Officeworks)
- How it works: It features retractable sliding pins on the side. When traveling through mainland Europe (Portugal, Spain, France, Switzerland, Italy), slide out the EU / Type C prongs. When landing in Qatar, switch to the UK / Type G 3-pin setup.
- Bonus: Most models include 2 to 4 built-in USB-A and USB-C ports, allowing you to charge your phone, camera, and power bank simultaneously without needing multiple power bricks.
- Type G (UK-style 3-pin plug): Used in Qatar.
