Virgin Australia Bans All MacBooks From Checked Baggage

Virgin Australia has announced that all MacBooks are banned from checked baggage until further notice.

Important information for passengers travelling with Apple MacBooks:
Due to a worldwide recall by Apple of a number of Apple MacBook batteries, ALL Apple MacBooks must be placed in carry-on baggage only. No Apple MacBooks are permitted in checked in baggage until further notice.




Recently, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration banned select 15-inch MacBook Pros on flights due to the risk of a fire being caused by their defective battery. Laptops that have replaced batteries are not affected.

Unfortunately for travellers, Virgin takes this a step further with a blanket ban on all MacBook models.
