In today\u2019s digital media age, electronic devices have become inseparable from travel.

FAA and TSA Guidelines for Electronics and Power Banks<\/b><\/h3>\n

Generally, any electronic device powered by lithium batteries, including laptops, tablets, e-readers, cameras, and smartphones, must be carried in your carry-on bag when traveling to or from the United States. The TSA strictly prohibits these items in checked bags because lithium batteries pose a fire risk. Power banks, which are essentially portable lithium batteries, fall under the same regulations and must also be kept in your cabin bag.<\/span><\/p>\n
