Spark on a plane Travel in Europe

[ZenSpark]

How about taking your drone on a travel? I will go to Mallorca, it's an island from Spain with Raynair, can I take this with me on the plane? Thanks!

I took mine to Lanzarote this summer. Batteries in the hand luggage, spark in the checked in luggage. No problems encountered.

That’s the worries i have, can you take the (3x) battery with you on the plane? Normally I will go only with hand luggage... So all with me, drone and 3 battery

My experience: Nobody cared, inbound nor outbound. I had 2 batteries in my handluggage, went through the security scans without a problem. I travelled within Europe (Schengen), might be different when flying in from outside Europe.

Hi from Spain.

No problem at all, but you have to carry the batteries in the hand luggage up to 120 W all together so 3 Spark batteries are no problem.

Enjoy Mallorca and send us some footage!

Hello. When flying with spark I would recommend always carrying it on to avoid the airport losing it in your luggage as I'm sure everyone knows happens quite frequently. As for the batteries, you can carry on as many as you like, given the batteries are under 100 Wh each. Spark batteries are only 16.87 Wh

Hi from belgium!

Ok, I will take them with me!

How do you fly in Spain / Mallorca? I have Read that you can't fly over the beach, but I want to do that on those little beaches between Rocks, I think you call them 'calle'?

Belgium has a lot of ristrictions.. We can only fly 10m high and..

Hey!
i live in the UK and so far my spark has come with me to France, Iceland, Greece, Italy, Spain - no issues with BA flights.
I have a specfic drone carry case, that has spark + 4 batteries and other bits, never been an issue.

Wow great to hear this! Always in your hand luggage? I will take the foam box for the Spark with 3 batteries and a other lunch box for my controller
Thanks for the reply!

Nice! Only question, should i get 3 lipo bags?

 

[domdiamond]

Goto Amazon, search spark Lipo bags and you can buy them to hold 2 batts so you'll need 2 bags and an excuse to get another batt [emoji57]
