Carry, use and store

  • Cabin baggage: protect terminals and follow crew storage instructions
  • Charging a device from it: not allowed
  • Charging it from seat power: not allowed
  • Overhead bin: advised against our reading
  • Checked bag: not allowed

Read the airline’s wording

Only one power bank is allowed per passenger. The watt-hour (Wh) rating must be 100 Wh or less and must be clearly marked.

Where interpretation is involved

  • overhead bin: Etihad writes 'Avoid storing it in the overhead locker' as a safety recommendation, not a ban.

Conditions to check

  • Wh rating must be labelled, embossed or printed on the device.
  • Keep it switched off and protected against short circuits.
From 1 January 2027

IATA’s standard changes the over-100 Wh allowance. We have not verified this airline’s implementation for every future flight. Check the scope of the 2027 change.
