This is gonna be practically unenforceable
So, you can’t charge your phone on the plane?
I have never traveled on Southwest Airlines nor will I ever travel on Southwest Airlines
OMG, please don’t make that face ever ever again. Ever ever
Many lawsuits need to be filed against this airline for discriminating against people (the causes of obesity can be various diseases, for example), so this company needs to be condemned in US courts.🫵🗣️
But the planes have usb charging. Why use these power banks?
I charge my phone b4 I get on the plane anyways. Would be nice if planes had chargers on all the seats now, then ppl wouldn't try to charge their phone on a power bank in the cabin.
“Nobody is ever going to” is a dare lol. Saw some comments that look like they need clarification. You can take the power bank, but keep it with you (don’t put it in checked bag). If you use it while you’re on the plane, keep it in your sight (don’t tuck it in your bag under the seat while in use, for example). If your power bank does start “acting crazy” let a flight attendant know asap. They are first and foremost safety officers and can assist.
And who's going to check for that connection?
Great advice
The anker powerbank that you are using was just recalled due to fire risk…I got a note about it from Amazon.
Lots of people have done it in their purses; hence the rule.
How would they even know if your phone is charging in a bag in the overhead bin
Thank you for the tips. I haven't taken a trip in a long time. And you are motivating me to do so.
You underestimate the stupidity of some people
It is getting ridiculus with SW! They made me take out my electric shaver, water pick, and toothbrush out of my checkin bag and put it in my carry on.
I don't carry battery packs since th airport and plans now have outlets.
I tell you why this is, its because of all the cheap batteries being produced causing the issue. Airline companies are getting tired of literaly putting out fires. 💥
There was a recent flight emergency landing from a device catching fire in an overhead bin.
Why are power banks only combustible on southwest flights?
And how do they know if you’re doing it?
Y u talking like that
My be the stupidest tip ever. Nobody is charging something out of sight lol
I think these tips are super helpful but what stopping someone from doing this
I wish I was plugged in to you with my tip
Just flew American yesterday. Same rule applies.
I love your travel tits
Not true. There are carry on bags with Lowe banks in them where you can leave your phone to charge -in the overhead bin while you watch a movie on your tablet.
