Power Bank Rules CHANGING in 2025! What You NEED to Know Before Flying

Power Bank Rule Changes You MUST Know! (2025 Update)

Misinformation is floating around on the Internet, especially on YouTube! The majority of what I’m talking about is AI-generated content spreading misinformation to instill fear and get views. I doubt those behind these so-called travel tips content have actually traveled before.

Today, I will simplify the new rules for power banks on planes that are coming in March 2025.  Some airlines are already ahead of the game, so let's make sure you're in the know!

- EVA Air are now prohibiting the use of power banks during the flight. You can bring them, but you can't use them to charge your devices onboard. So make sure you're fully charged before you board.
- Korean Air and Asiana Airlines, both based in South Korea, are also tightening things up. They're asking passengers to keep their power banks with them at their seats, not in the overhead bins. Safety first!
- Now, here's the good news: Most airlines are still cool with small power banks. Anything under 100 watt-hours is usually fine. But if your power bank is bigger than that, you might need to check with the airline first.

Here is the most important piece of advice you need to know that is applicable to any trip: Do not trust anything you read and check the source first. In this context, always check with the airline you are flying about the updated rules for power banks.

By the time you are reading this article, what I stated here about power banks may not be valid, so always check with your airline before flying. Happy, safe, and stress-free travels to you all!
