Russell Crowe may be forever grounded if he refuses to budge from his stance of not flying on an airline that refuses to carry his children's hoverboard.
The Aussie actor took to Twitter to express his outrage at not being allowed to take a Segway hoverboard on a flight and vowed never to fly with Virgin Australia, again.
But despite his fury at the "ridiculous" stance the Australian airline was not alone in banning the gadget.
An Air New Zealand spokeswoman said the company did not permit hoverboards on its planes as it posed a safety risk.
"Small recreational vehicles powered by lithium batteries, that are commonly known as a rideable, hoverboard, airwheel, solowheel, mini-segway, or balance wheel (but are not limited to these product names) are not permitted to be carried on Air New Zealand operated services as cabin baggage, checked baggage or cargo."
She said these differed from mobility aids, which would still be carried.
Jetstar's response was much the same. A spokeswoman said it didn't carry the self-balancing boards as carry-on or check-in across its domestic and international network.
A statement on its website on December 16 further outlined its rationale.
"We've made the decision based on the inconsistent information about lithium batteries provided by many manufacturers and reported issues with the devices."
The popular holiday gift has reportedly caused numerous safety issues, after some burst spontaneously into flame.
Meanwhile, a mall in Texas, has banned all hoverboards from its stores after one burst into flame and the mall had to be evacuated.
Many major airlines, including American Airlines, Emirates, British Airways, Cathay Pacific and the Qantas group, have banned the self-balancing scooter from being carried.
Check with each individual airline for the specifics of what's allowed and what's not, but here are some of the baggage rules when flying:
• Aerosols can be checked in but not carried on.
• A holder of a valid firearms license can check in up to 5kg of ammunition and check in a declared unloaded firearm, though further conditions can apply in certain destinations.
• Camping stoves and liquid fuel containers can be checked in but not carried on.
• E-cigarettes can be carried on, but not checked in.
• Safety matches and cigarette lighters are not allowed.
• Pepper spray is forbidden
