    Power banks are not allowed to be used on most long haul flights I’ve been on (trans-pacific), and when transiting through China they even confiscate them if they are over a certain capacity, but all flights have AC plugs at each seat.

      Yeah, make sure it’s not above a certain voltage. You can find this information on the website of your airline. I think it was 12500mAh for most, but I could be wrong.

      That’s crazy. I never had this experience and I pack at least 2-3 power banks during my flight to Europe/Southeast Asia because I’m a gadget nerd.

      Then again I never flew to China and stick to western airplanes because that’s what my company pays for.
