Some airlines in Asia are tightening restrictions. You may have to repack or turn off your batteries before boarding flights with certain carriers.

    Tldr:

    • some airlines say power banks must be within arm’s reach
    • some airlines say power banks must be stowed away

    Check with your airline before traveling.

      It seems like the most practical way to approach this as an airline passenger is to place your battery into superposition where the battery can be both within arm’s reach, but also stowed away. Warning, do not observer or interact with the battery while the flight is in the air lest you collapse the waveform and lose superposition.

        That seems overly complicated. How about just bringing an extra arm in the carry-on?

          If you just bring s whole other person in your checked bags, you save on ticket costs, too.

        lest you collapse the waveform and lose superposition.

        But then I could reach my destination instantly!

      There are so many useless bots out there. An archive bot would be great!

        On lemmy default UI, it lets you automatically replace the link with an archive link.

    Turning off a battery? What? Do they mean simply not in use?
