• Ensure the power bank is properly packed to prevent short circuits or damage.
• Do not pack power banks with metal objects, such as coins or keys.
• The power bank must be less than 100 watt-hours (Wh).
• If the power bank is between 100-160 Wh, you must get approval from the airline before carrying it on board.
• Power banks over 160 Wh are not permitted on aircraft.
• Keep the power bank in its original packaging or a protective case.

Additional Tips for Packing Electronics in Hand Luggage:
