A portable power bank has long been an essential travel item for those who need to charge devices while out and about. However, if you\u2019re flying on Air New Zealand this summer, you\u2019ll need to get up to speed with new rules and regulations.<\/p>\n
![\"]()
Power banks are handy but regulated on flights.<\/p>\n
From December 9, customers cannot carry more than two power banks per person, and they cannot be used during take-off, taxi or landing, RNZ reported. The update follows in the footsteps of many international airlines, due to the safety risks associated with the item.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Jetstar will ban the use of portable power banks from December 15. So, if you tend to carry portable power banks, be sure to check your airline\u2019s rules to avoid having them confiscated. <\/p>\n

On December 20, Aotea Square transforms into Santa\u2019s most chaotic workshop as The Dust Palace takes over with a Christmas circus spectacular. Santa\u2019s in trouble \u2014 his elves have bailed, the toys aren\u2019t made, and Christmas is spiralling fast\u2026 literally. Expect 20 minutes of trapeze, aerials, chair-stacking chaos and comedy for the whole wh\u0101nau, plus two performances and hands-on circus workshops.<\/p>\n
Swing by from 10am\u20134pm, and use the codeword P\u014dhutakawa at The Container in the Square Caf\u00e9 for a free Tip Top ice-cream (while stocks last).<\/p>\n
