Airlines Have New Portable Charger Rules-but These 9 Editor-loved Power Banks Won't Get Confiscated, From $20

"My biggest qualm with portable chargers has always been holding a huge battery block in addition to your phone, not to mention the long cord connecting the two, which always gets in the way. That's why I love this mini portable charger from Amazon. It lets me keep one hand free at all times while it's charging. It's super compact and lightweight for travel, as it even fits in my shoulder and toiletry bags."

"I always travel with my boyfriend, and his iPhone needs a different charging cable than mine, so I decided to ditch my old portable charger for this magnetic Anker version so we don't have to worry about forgetting the right cord anymore. In addition to its wireless design, it accommodates multiple device types."

Airlines including Southwest, American, and Delta have implemented stricter regulations on portable chargers due to fire hazards posed by lithium batteries when damaged or defective. These restrictions prohibit packing power banks in checked baggage and limit passengers to carrying only one device on board. Travel + Leisure editors recommend nine portable chargers that comply with airline safety requirements and have proven reliable during frequent travel. Recommended options include compact mini chargers that fit easily in bags and magnetic wireless chargers that accommodate multiple device types without requiring separate cables.
