The answer is No! You don't have to remove the chargers if they're in your carry-on or luggage. You can keep the chargers in your carry-on as well as hand luggage. These electronic devices are not included in the restricted item list by any airport in the world.
As a guide, anything larger than A5 size or an iPad mini needs to be placed in a tray with nothing covering it up. If you can spray, spread or pour something at room temperature, it counts as a liquid in aviation security terms. This includes aerosols such as asthma inhalers and foodstuffs, like butter or jam.
Portable chargers or power banks containing a lithium ion battery must be packed in carry-on bags. For more information, see the FAA guidance on portable rechargers.
Are Plug-In Chargers Allowed? You can take all plug-in phone chargers with you in your carry-on or checked bags with ease as they do not contain any form of battery and, therefore, do not present any danger. Typically, you will not be able to use this type of charger onboard as most airplanes do not have power sockets.
Airport Security Procedures:
At most airports you will be required to place all your hand luggage and belongings into one of the trays provided at Security Control. You will also be required to empty your pockets of all objects and place any metal objects, phones, loose change or jewellery into the tray.
Laptops and other electrical equipment (iPads, hairdryers, straighteners, large speakers, large cameras, docking stations, irons) have to be removed from hand luggage and screened separately. If you're flying to the USA, please ensure that electrical devices are charged and capable of being switched on.
Laptops and tablets will typically be screened outside your bag and placed in a separate tray. Forgetting to take your electronics out of your hand luggage could result in security needing to carry out additional security checks, which can cause delays.
Bring a power pack that has one or more USB ports as well as a power port. This means that you can charge 3 devices at a time. On flights with a lot of open seats, you can ask if the flight attendant will allow you to move to a seat that does have an outlet.
Infectious substances such as live virus materials. Wet-cell car batteries. Magnetrons. Instruments containing mercury - however, thermometers with mercury are permitted in hold luggage (but not hand luggage) only, if they are carried in a protective case.
Actually, airlines do not allow power banks in the cargo luggage for the purpose of safety. Power banks are essentially batteries that utilise lithium cells. Lithium batteries have a tendency to combust, and are therefore prohibited for cargo transport, as part of air-transport regulations.
“Basically, [tray tables are] to be up for takeoff and landing so that [they] won't block you from evacuating in the event of an emergency,” former flight attendant Kelly Kincaid told T+L.
Separate out liquids, gels, and pastes from your hand baggage into one single, clear re-sealable one-litre plastic bag, with each container no bigger than 100ml. No sharp objects and have all electronic devices out and in the tray, along with coins and jewellery.
Since toothpaste is considered a liquid, paste, or gel by the TSA, most of us toss those tiny one-ounce tubes in our carry-on bags. However, if you want to ditch the hard-to-recycle packaging, consider toothpaste tablets, an ecofriendly alternative that's not subject to the 3-1-1 rule.
Checked Bags: Yes
The capacity of each container must not exceed 0.5 kg (18 ounces) or 500 ml (17 fluid ounces). See the FAA regulations for more information. Permitted aerosol release devices (button/nozzle) must be protected by caps or other suitable means to prevent accidental release.
Stick deodorant is fine in any size. Well, almost any size… Powders and crystals are good to go as well. Spray, Gel, Liquid, Cream, Pastes, and Roll-On deodorants need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces and placed in a clear quart-sized baggie.
Liquid medications
If your liquid medicines come in a container of 100ml or less, your medicine will need to go into a 20 x 20cm resealable plastic bag, along with all of the other liquids you are planning to take with you in your hand luggage.
Rules for Flights in the USA
Phone and laptop chargers that don't contain a lithium battery are allowed on planes within the US. You can pack them in hand and checked luggage, and it doesn't matter whether they're plug-in type or wireless.
Bringing a portable battery or connecting your charger directly to a provided power outlet is the best way to charge devices on a plane. Make sure your portable battery is allowed on a plane: Lithium-ion batteries can have a max of 100 watt-hours on planes, as per the TSA.
Secure hand-held devices by holding them or placing them in a seat pocket during taxi, take-off and landing. Items heavier than 1kg such as laptops will still need to be stowed. You still can't use mobile and smart phones to make calls or send texts while in the air.
Do not pack you portable charger (power pack) in hold luggage: Taking your portable phone charger (power pack) on a plane is fine, but just remember to pack it in your hand luggage. Do not put them in your hold luggage as this is not permitted and could result in your luggage not being loaded.
TSA classifies both solid deodorant and lipstick as solids. Neither needs to go in your liquids bag.
DO wear slip on shoes! Listen, unless you have TSA PreCheck®…you will have to remove your shoes. So save yourself the hassle of unbuckling, unzipping or untying and bring them slip-ons!
You will be able to choose your seat and print your boarding pass or simply save an electronic version on your phone or the airline's app. When you get to the airport, simply take your bags to the bag drop facility for your airline, or if you are travelling with hand luggage only, then head straight to security.
