Will there be any issues taking this through customs at the airport? I would like to have power now that they have wi-fi available gate to gate.

I have know idea. I haven't flown in awhile. Call the airlines and ask them.

I have been using AIRPORT for wireless connection to internet for years. I would presume that you can use a wired connection to access internet.

Agree with Bruno. I only need to plug it in for power...wifi connection is wireless

Hi, if you buy it from a supplier in your own country it should be fine, but I would think it would work even with an adaptor plug to take on holiday elsewhere. Good luck.

As Lynne mentioned...China (and likely other countries') security are now scrutinizing external batteries for capacity. I also had mine confiscated in China (Oct 2015) even though it sailed through earlier flights within China this trip as well as a trip from China in May. Best to be sure the capacity is stamped on the unit, which Jackery says is now standard.

Yes, it will act as a power source just as if you had it plugged into your computer or a wall outlet. It is a great accessory on long plane rides.

It was allowed on the plane. It was in my laptop back with 2 extra hard drives. That being said I am not sure it is any different than a laptop battery and i would explain it as such if questioned. As to capacity, it extends the life of my wife's new ipad by about 3 hours ( playing some game with screen on bright ) and recharges her phone once.

You can but at some risk... Just because electronic equipment says it can operate within a certain range, does not mean you can just plug and go. Here is North America we operate on 60HZ, where you operate on 50HZ. Click this link and read before making your decision http://wikitravel.org/en/Electrical_systems... Good luck!

Idk but as long as there is a usb available you should be able to. I would call to make sure that it is not on some "list" of things you can't have on a plane.

You may get by with it, especially in USA airports but when you go to other countries, it will be totally random. We have had small plastic toothpicks, diaper safety pins and various small key ring tools confiscated. I told one official that the 4" pry took had passed through TSA and foreign airport security without question many times...and was told "not a my airport!"

You will need to get a converter to use this item internationally. Inexpensive, it is worth having for your assorted travel items.

I'm assuming you're thinking of air travel, "twiddle your thumbs and look out the window"... The solution of course is to use the Magsafe airplane adaptor. Most airlines have empower or regular cigarette style power ports already and some are adding standard AC outlets to their seats. You can look it up at http://www.seatguru.com Most business travelers have probably already figured this out though and will select seats with a powerport.

It wont matter any way because it wont work long enough for you to use it overseas. I would suggest you read the reviews. I have owned 2 which broke with in a week of purchase.

I think that with a compatible power source or adapter (110 VAC) and Wi-Fi connection you should be able to use this in a foreign country. This particular model is available with a cellular option (AT&T;) - for that you'd need to check with your local carrier for compatibility.

Although I saw it clearly pictured in one airport's TSA warnings (was it Spokane?) I've never been questioned about it in years. I carry so many pieces of electronic junk (chargers, cameras, etc.) that there may be a distraction factor working for me. At this point, I don't worry about it, if they take it, I can get another one. Knock wood, they'll probably confiscate it on my next flight...

For overseas you will have to most likely rewire it, most overseas outlets are different than ours in the US.Best to call the company after you find out what the electric volts and plug type is needed from the country its going to. If its going to a American base it may be fine, check before you spend money shipping. Best i got. Good luck. Anybody else?

no problems going through tsa, you have to take your lap top out of the bag. it doesnt charge lap tops though, just smaller devices like phones and tablets. great back pack, id buy it again!
