Hey everyone, here’s a vital travel tip to keep in mind next time you’re flying! 🚀✈️
EasyJet pilot Glenn Bradley wants passengers to ditch the risky habit of vaping on planes. We know flying can be a bit of a nightmare at times – the early starts, airport chaos, and tight seating. So, a cheeky vape might seem tempting. However, beware: those onboard sensors are sharp and will catch you out faster than you can say, “Puff!”
Remember, vaping is strictly prohibited on flights, right alongside smoking. It’s not just a slap on the wrist either – we’re talking hefty fines or even a potential ban from flying. 😬 Anything from a £2,500 fine to a five-year prison sentence could be on the cards if you’re caught in the act.
And while we’re on the topic of flight safety, Glenn also highlights the importance of properly packing lithium batteries. These are found in everyday items like phones, power banks, and even portable fans. An alarming fire risk, they should always travel with you in the cabin rather than being left in hold luggage.
One slip-up could result in a plane diversion – no one wants their flight rerouted over a forgotten power bank in the hold! To ensure a smooth and safe journey, take these steps:
🔋 Carry items like mobile phones, vapes, and power banks onboard.
🔋 Avoid charging power banks during flights.
🔋 Turn off laptops completely if checked.
So, let’s all pack smart and fly safe, folks! 🌍🛫
