charger on plane

[tuscan_v8]

Heard that airport will take away your battery charger from your luggage, is that true?

Said that it can be build into bomb !!

Going to states next week and need it very much.

I took mine to spain in October, but it was in my hold baggage.

And what about chargers for shavers, mobile phones etc?

I think you need to contact the airline/airport

I took my charger to the US in May. They searched my bag too, picked it up, looked at it, put it back.

Still, best to make sure I would say!

In suitcase or handheld luggage?

I take my charger and laptop and power supply and all my photo kit on planes weekly to Europe, Africa and the US on just about every airline as hand luggage - never had a problem.

Thanks

Though to be honest, when I have hold baggage I put my chargers and power supplies etc. in my checked suitcase, as I will not need them during the flight and it's less to carry...

In my suitcase. No need to have it in hand luggage usually...

No problems taking chargers in hand baggage on easysquash.

then again they do want to confiscate a pack of photos and a travel alarm clock as it may be a bomb.
