Flying with one of Samsung's recalled Galaxy Note 7s is now illegal in the US. To make the exchange process easier for people who haven't had time to send their Note 7 back (or who hoped they could sneak theirs past the gate), Samsung is setting up booths ahead of security checkpoints in busy airports to swap out phones. This way, travelers won't have their Note 7 confiscated by airports or airlines. (Much of our kiosk information comes from a Bloomberg report.)

Samsung's official site only lists Australian airports as of this writing, but ABC News has also spotted a kiosk in San Francisco International Airport. The Korean company says it is trying to bring kiosks to other busy airports across the US. Workers at the kiosk will apparently help users with data transfer to minimize the inconvenience, but, of course, they can't replace the 7's unique hardware features.

If you bought the Note 7, your best move is still to return the phone where you bought it and settle for one of the other models we've recommended, especially since Samsung is giving out $25 credits on top of a full refund if you take your Note 7 back and switch to another brand. If you decide to switch to another Samsung phone like last year's Galaxy Note 5 or the Galaxy S7, that credit increases to $100.
