These must now be brought in carry-on luggage rather than checked bags. This change highlights the ongoing importance of staying informed about travel-related regulations, as both TSA and international guidelines frequently evolve. Travelers are encouraged to consult the TSA's Security Screening guidelines to ensure compliance with what can be packed in both carry-on and checked luggage before flying.
Portable chargers and power banks using lithium batteries are banned in checked luggage due to fire risks, and must be carried in hand luggage only.
Travelers need to stay informed about what is allowed in both carry-on and checked luggage, especially as regulations change frequently.
