got this email on booking. note carried, not on/off/checked.
Dear Customer,
Please be advised that from Sunday 16 October 2016, Samsung Galaxy Note 7 devices can no longer be carried on any Tigerair Australia flights.
This is due to safety concerns around the device and follows the implementation of a ban by the U.S. Department of Transportation.
For all flights departing from tomorrow Sunday 16 October, customers travelling on Tigerair Australia services must comply with this ban by not travelling with this device, whether on their person, in their carry-on luggage or in a checked bag.
The use of Samsung Galaxy Note 7 devices is currently prohibited on all Tigerair Australia flights and the complete ban announced today is an additional safety measure.
We apologise for any inconvenience to our customers but safety is always our number one priority.
to/from MEL..17th to 19th, no one checked carryon, or even asked. Other than general announcement at the airport stating a ban for all flights, security did not check, nor did the gate personel. Checked baggage is automated, and no check on that.
