If you’re flying with Emirates soon, there’s a new rule that has been in place since October 1, 2025. You can no longer use your power bank during the flight. The airline now allows only one power bank with a capacity of less than 100 watt-hours in your carry-on bag. You also can’t charge it or plug it in while on board.
Ignoring this rule might cause trouble. Crew members are taking this seriously, and if you don’t follow the guidelines, you could face issues during check-in or while flying.
What Emirates Now Allows (and Doesn’t)
Basically, you can carry it, but you can’t use it once you’re on the plane.

Why Power Banks Are Restricted from Use on Flights Now?
Power banks run on lithium-ion batteries, which can overheat or catch fire. Cheap or low-quality ones are even riskier. They sometimes lack features like auto shut-off or temperature control.
Emirates isn’t the only airline to tighten rules. Contact Singapore Airlines, Cathay Pacific, Korean Air, EVA Air, China Airlines, and AirAsia have also banned the use of power banks onboard.
This move came after several safety incidents. One example is a 2023 Air Busan flight, where a power bank caused a small fire that injured 27 passengers. After that, many airlines started reviewing their in-flight safety rules.
How to Stay Safe and Avoid Trouble
Here’s what you can do as a passenger to stay prepared:
This rule is not meant to make travel harder. It’s a safety precaution to avoid accidents and delays. The cabin crew can respond faster if the power bank is within reach instead of locked in a suitcase below.
If you usually carry multiple gadgets, plan ahead with Flying Guidelines. Bring only what’s necessary and check your power bank’s watt-hour before packing. If it’s higher than 100 Wh or not labeled, it’s better to leave it at home.
FAQs
What happens if airport security finds a power bank in my checked luggage?
If a power bank is found in checked baggage, airport security or the airline will step in. This can lead to:
No Warning: If you can’t be reached, the item is taken out and the bag is sent without it, and you lose the power bank for good.
Bag Delay: Your luggage may be removed from the conveyor for inspection, which can delay delivery by days.
Confiscation: Security can open locked bags and take the power bank permanently. A notice may be left inside.
Are ‘Smart Bags’ with built-in power banks allowed on flights?
Only under one condition: the lithium battery must be removable.
Non-Removable Batteries: Permanently installed batteries are banned on many airlines.
Carry-On: Removable batteries can stay in the bag if accessible.
Checked Bags: The battery must be removed and carried with you.
What should I do if my power bank starts to swell or feel hot?
If your power bank starts to heat:
They have the tools and training to manage overheating batteries safely.
Stop using the battery immediately.
Call a flight attendant. Don’t handle it yourself or try to fix it.
Can I use my power bank to charge my phone/laptop while on the plane?
It depends on the airline. Some still allow using a power bank if it is under 100 Wh and stays in your carry-on. Many major airlines now ban all in-flight use. Power banks must stay off and be kept under the seat or in the seat pocket. You cannot charge the power bank itself using the plane’s power outlets.
A Same Day Delta Airlines Ticket Change Policy is a request to switch to an earlier flight that you make within 24 hours of when you were supposed to leave. Online check-in and the Fly Delta app both allow for same-day modifications, but only if there are spaces available.
When you make adjustments on the same day, you have two choices based on Delta Airlines Flight Change Policy:
SAME-DAY CONFIRMED
You can move to a confirmed seat on a new flight if you bought a seat in Delta Main or Delta Comfort, as long as there is space in your original fare class. Delta Main Basic (Basic Economy) tickets are not included.
• You can move to a confirmed seat on a new flight if you bought a seat in Delta First, Delta Premium Select, or Delta One® and there is room in the cabin.
• The price for Same-Day Confirmed is $75 USD.
• Same Day Confirmed is free for Diamond, Platinum, and Gold Medallion Members, as well as for Extra and refundable tickets (see Terms & Conditions).
SAME DAY STANDBY
You might have to wait for a seat on an earlier flight than the one you purchased if the Same Day Confirmed option isn’t available.
• You don’t have to pay anything for Same Day Standby.
• Your original flight will be confirmed until you get a seat on an earlier flight under Delta Airlines Same Day Flight Change.
You can cancel your ticket for an eCredit minus any cancellation penalties if your plans change and you bought a ticket that can’t be changed. You can’t get your money back for Classic and Basic tickets. Make sure to cancel your flight before you leave.
