A warning has been issued to holidaymakers after an airline passenger was refused boarding because of the type of bag they had tried to take on board their flight. Twitter user Pandora Sykes said Easyjet has "quietly changed" its rules on 'smart bags' - and other airlines also have similar rules in place.
Smart bags are a type of luggage that can contain a lithium battery or power bank to charge other devices, supposedly making travel easier if you need to use a mobile phone or a laptop. Some bags on the market can also have other high-tech features like Bluetooth or Wi-Fi capabilities.
While many travellers will be thinking this is an ingenious invention when heading on long-haul flights, you need to look carefully at the rules for each airline as actually, many do not allow these on board. Pandora and other travellers on her flight who had similar bags apparently found this out the hard way, the Liverpool Echo reported.
