Hi folks

A question for frequent flyers / American flyers

I will be flying to new York from Dublin and back again around st patricks and im wondering is it possible to take a spare battery for my lumia?

Hi, don't think they allow you to take spare batteries onboard flights, however I once kept them in my bag and I was fine so really I think you'll be fine taking them

You're allowed to bring batteries, but you're supposed to keep spare batteries in your carry on bags (NOT your checked bags), although I really don't think that they check for this. I'm pretty sure that I've put a battery in my checked bags before, but just to be safe I'd keep it in your carry ons.
