* Please note that for safety and operational reasons, passengers will not be permitted to plug any medical electronic devices into the aircraft’s power supply and must instead supply their own power in accordance with all applicable regulations. In order to use personal medical electronic devices in flight, passengers must bring with them enough batteries to power the device for 150% of the expected maximum flight duration. If you are planning to travel with a medical electronic device in the aircraft cabin, please contact our local Reservations office in advance for additional information and to determine how much battery power will be needed for 150% of your flight’s expected maximum flight duration.
