Drone on plane

[haf]

Hello

I’m traveling next week to Prague and I would like to know if there is any restrictions to keep my drone in my backpack in the cabin mainly because of the batteries.

Thanks

Carry everything on. That’s about it. I fly all the time and put my drone in my camera bag with my other gear. Some people will recommend lipo safe bags for your batteries. I’ve never used them and I fly roughly once a month.

The drone batteries are well within the restrictions of any airline to carry in the cabin. Some airlines mention that batteries should be carried inside lipo bags but they only create more suspicion during security check. I have always carried my Spark docked in the DJI portable charging station (with 2 extra batteries) in my cabin baggage.

Have taken Spark et al to the US and fly here in the UK and no problems so long as you carry it with you in your hand luggage. I have bought a special travel bag for it but you could use the polystyrene container the craft came in when new. Bon voyage.

I flew from Gatwick airport and the made me put my drone in the hold and take my batteries and rc as hand luggage it was quite weird but I just did it so I did not have a hassle getting through customs. You can read up on the airlines website for more rules and regulations on carrying drones on planes.

Great, thank you all for the advices.

Should be no problem to take the Spark with you, however I would avoid flying your Spark inside the Airplane
