I'm much more worried about something like this in a check-in bag, where the fire can spread uncontrollably. At least in cabin you will notice the fire early and can use the fire extinguisher.
- x1798DE 10y agoI don't think lithium batteries are allowed in check luggage. You're supposed to carry them on.
- lucaspiller 10y agoI believe it's batteries on their own - as long as they are in a device I believe it's fine (if not I've been breaking the law...).
- chakalakasp 10y agoThank God everyone carefully reads and follows the checked luggage rules and regulations! ;)
- gambiting 10y agoA fire extinguisher is not going to do much against a lithium fire. But at the same time, such fire would end before you even got up from your seat - the only concern would be something inside the plane catching fire, but literally everything inside the cabin is fireproof. Fire inside the hold is another matter entirely, but there are fire suppression systems fitted into all planes nowadays.
