Travelers Warned About One Item to Avoid in Luggage

A travel agent warns against packing one thing in your big suitcase.

When flying, airports have rules about what you can carry in your hand luggage. Security staff will not let you pass if you have something they think is hazardous. This can delay your trip or make them take the item away.

Some items like vapes must be in hand luggage, not big suitcases. A man named Jake warned his followers on TikTok that power banks often cause problems on holidays.

Power banks are small chargers that help you charge your phone, tablet, or laptop when you're moving.

Jake said people still don't follow the rules when packing power banks. The Civil Aviation Authority is starting a big campaign because flights are being delayed or diverted due to power banks.

Jake explained that any item with a lithium battery must be in hand luggage. This includes laptops, tablets, vapes, and power banks.

It's very important to check your airline's rules about power banks. Some airlines say you can't charge your items during the flight.

The International Civil Aviation Organisation published new rules about carrying lithium batteries and power banks on planes.

The rules say spare lithium batteries and power banks must be protected to prevent short circuits.

Power banks must be protected.

The ICAO advised airlines to tell their staff about the rules for carrying and using electronic devices and spare batteries.

One person commented that airlines need better charging facilities on planes. The ports are often old or don't have enough power to charge phones.

Jake said you can charge your devices at the airport before your flight. Airplane mode uses very little battery, and most long flights have plugs to charge your devices.
