Airline passengers have been warned by US authorities not to switch on or charge their Samsung Galaxy Note 7 phones when on board the plane. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) also advised against packing the phones into any checked-in luggage. Samsung recalled the phone last week after reports emerged of the device exploding during or after charging. Qantas and Virgin Australia have also told customers not to charge or use the phone during flights.

I was on a Lufthansa flight this week and saw a man who was asked not to use his Galaxy Note, one of the crew later told me they had recently been briefed on this partuclar phone.

Excellent, BA is promoting Samsung in their lounges.

I was going to upgrade my Note 5 to a 7…think I will pass now

Me as well Steve, though I’m sure they’ll sort it and hopefully discount it to get sales going again.

Email from SAS arrived informing me that NOTE7 is not allowed in checked baggage and may not be used on board if brought into the cabin.

Today’s boarding pass carries the same message.
