By now you should know the Galaxy Note 7 is banned on all US flights, but for those who still come to the airport with the fire-prone phone, Samsung has cooked up a solution.
The firm is setting up exchange stations at some airports to swap customers' Note 7s before they take to the friendly skies. While Samsung has announced these "customer service points" at "high-traffic terminals" inside Australian airports, CNET reports booths have also popped up at an airport in South Korea.
What's more, ABC 7 News out of the Bay Area spotted stations at the San Francisco International Airport right before security checkpoints.
Samsung reps at the stations will transfer data from your Galaxy Note 7 to another device, meaning you won't lose your 2,037 vacation photos. You will, however, lose your Note 7.
Given that passengers who try to bring the twice-recalled phone onto planes face possible fines or criminal prosecution, exchanging their Note 7 is probably an acceptable alternative.
The booths seem aimed at assisting travelers who aren't aware of the Note 7 flight ban, which was announced last Friday, or who weren't able to exchange their device before flying.
We've asked Samsung whether it plans to roll out more stations at other airports, as well as what devices it's swapping for Note 7s, and will update this story if we find out more.
