Are power banks allowed by some airlines but not others?

[Brendan Burgess]

I thought that they were allowed, but Aer Lingus says no.

Are they stopped at security?

According to this they are allowed!

Aer Lingus has no process to check passengers baggage. The airport does that and - presumably - applies the same rules to all passengers travelling on all airlines.

They are not allowed in baggage, they are allowed on one's person

Thanks mathepac

I think I might set off alarms if I strapped one to my person.

Yes you would possibly. And security might want to take a look at your ,,,,,person too...

To be clearer, as long as they're not excessively powerful they're allowed in cabin baggage, but not checked baggage. I'm pretty sure I actually bought one in a shop in Dublin Airport after passing through security.

I can picture @Brendan Burgess walking gingerly like a catwalk model through departures with it balanced on his head now...

Slightly OT, but was on a Jet2 flight recently and all seats had USB power points available. Very nice touch indeed.
