By Grzegorz Dąbek | January 19, 2026
Lufthansa Group carriers now prohibit using (but still allow carrying) powerbanks onboard: bring them only in cabin baggage, keep capacity under 100 Wh (larger requires approval), and limit to two per passenger—no charging in-flight and don’t store them in overhead bins.
