Southwest Airlines passengers will have to keep chargers visible on flights

Beware, Southwest Airlines travelers: You're going to have to keep your portable charging devices visible during flights.

Southwest announced the changes in a statement earlier in the week. The new safety measure should allow for flight attendants to address any fires that break out mid-flight quickly.

So what does this mean for you?

Well, if you’re using a power bank or another portable charging device, you'll have to keep it out of your bag and visible to the crew during the flight.
