The staff didn’t believe me citing the infallible logic: “there are ports so there’s a battery.” I told them again and again that the battery had been removed and the charging ports-while there-were inert as they weren’t attached to the battery. I had to then de-board the plane and re-explain to staff that there was no lithium battery in my bag. After everyone had been boarded (half an hour after we’d been scheduled to take off) they then called my name out on the speaker. When they asked me if I had a lithium battery in my bag I said “no.” They then gate checked the bag and allowed me on the plane. I know that lithium batteries can’t be taken in the underbelly of the plane and I knew my bag would likely be checked at the gate (why I removed the battery and left it at home in the first place). They took me off an already delayed flight after I’d already boarded to examine my smart bag.

Its current US gateways are Atlanta, Washington DC, New York, Newark, Chicago, Houston, Dallas, Miami, Boston, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Seattle. However, its launch date is yet to be confirmed. Colorado is also soon set to benefit, with Turkish Airlines mooting it will commence services between Denver International Airport (DEN) and Istanbul International Airport (IST). Washington state also welcomed a direct service to the TK hub, with Seattle joining the network in 2022. The Istanbul-based carrier has recently increased its reach across the United States, with the launch of IST to New York Newark, and Dallas Fort-Worth, Texas in 2021.
