Safety is everyone's responsibility when flying. ULSE’s new passenger education campaign reminds travelers to keep rechargeable devices within arm’s reach when flying — and never in checked bags.

We’ve all met them. The seat kickers. The armrest hogs. The screen peepers. The smelly food eaters. But there’s one kind of passenger nobody wants to be—the one who causes delays or danger.

In a collaborative effort to help make air travel safer, we’re proud to officially launch our passenger awareness campaign on lithium-ion battery safety in aviation. Our message is simple: When flying, keep rechargeable devices within arm’s reach – never in checked luggage – to help stop in-flight smoke and fires.

Here’s how passengers can help keep skies safer:

🔋 Know the Risk: Rechargeable batteries in everyday devices can overheat or catch fire when damaged or poorly made.

🔥 Recognize the Signs: Watch for warning signs of thermal runaway, like overheating, swelling, bulging, or smoking.

⚠️ Contact Cabin Crew: If a device shows these signs, alert a crew member immediately to help prevent a fire.

Keeping rechargeable devices within arm’s reach is a simple step that helps protect everyone on board — even the chatterbox in 18B.
