Just a reminder to everyone, if you travel with an extra battery in your checked luggage, you will not be able to do that anymore.
Also, any extra lithium ion batteries you carry on the plane should be in a plastic bag of some sort (though I'm not sure how they're enforcing this). -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |
