Airport Travel Tip: Don't Pack Your Power Bank in Your Checked Suitcase

If you're travelling through Exeter or Bristol Airport, it's worth taking a moment to check where you've packed your power bank before you leave home.

Power banks, spare lithium batteries and most vapes should be carried in your hand luggage, not your checked suitcase. Because they contain lithium batteries, they can pose a fire risk if damaged or if they overheat, which is why airlines have strict rules about how they're carried.

Although the general advice is the same across most airlines, limits and requirements can vary, so it's always worth checking your airline's guidance before you travel.

It's a simple packing check that only takes a few seconds but could save unnecessary delays at the airport—or even having items removed from your luggage.
