Re: [802.19] FW: [802WCSC] URGENT: FYI - VIETNAM AIRLINES

Steve-

This is a restriction that applies to ALL airlines for flights in the US but (as said below) only applies to:
15-inch MacBook Pro laptops produced and sold between September 2015 and February 2017.

They can not be carried in either the cargo/baggage hold or the passenger compartment.
Their batteries are considered a fire hazard.

Hi All

Viet just gave me a heads up on a MacBook Pro issue on Vietnam Airlines. See below.  Please inform your groups so anyone potentially impacted can make plans.

Cheers

Hi Bob,

How are you? I guess you are ready for the event!

FYI: Vietnam Airlines (and some other airlines) now bans 15-inch MacBook Pro laptops produced and sold between September 2015 and February 2017.
So in case any attendees flying with Vietnam Airlines, please notify them. Also, just double check with their airlines to avoid troubles.

Best Regards,
