Embark on an extraordinary journey with your drone and capture breathtaking aerial footage. But before you take flight, it's vital to navigate the regulations and policies that govern drone travel on airplanes. In this comprehensive guide, we'll equip you with the knowledge to ensure a smooth and exhilarating experience as you explore the world from above.
Did you know that drones are generally allowed on airplanes? However, it's essential to familiarize yourself with the specific rules and restrictions that apply to your travel itinerary. From country-specific regulations to airline policies, arming yourself with information will make your drone travel seamless and hassle-free.
We've described each country's drone regulations here for you.
Fun Fact: Did you know that drone batteries are subject to specific safety regulations? As you embark on your epic adventure, ensure your drone batteries comply with airline guidelines to avoid any setbacks. Stay powered up and ready to soar while adhering to the rules.
Generally speaking, most airlines will follow the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) guidance & rules. When it comes to drones, your main component to worry about is the battery(ies) it uses to fly as these will be under the eye of your airline carrier.
TSA identifies & recommends 3 main categories based on your drone battery's power:
Up to 100-watt-hour = usually allowed (up to 20 items).
From 100 to 160-watt-hour = usually airline approval is required (up to 2 items).
From 160-watt-hour = usually forbidden.
This is exactly what most airlines will apply, such as the example below from KLM.
💡 If your drone battery power is written in milliamp hour (mAh) & voltage (V); then the formula to convert is (mAh)*(V)/1000 = Watt-hour (Wh). For example, if you have a 500mAh battery rated at 5V, the power is 500mAh * 5V / 1000 = 2.5Wh.
✅ In every case, all airlines & the TSA would recommend to place spare batteries in a fireproof bag while travelling and to always keep them with your carry on bag. If you need some fireproof bags, check some out now & get them before taking off!
Fun Fact: Did you know labeling your drone is essential? Personalize your aerial companion and ensure its safe return in case it goes on its own adventure. In addition, pack essential accessories such as spare batteries, propellers, and a sturdy protective case. By preparing adequately, you'll be ready to unleash your inner explorer, capturing stunning aerial shots effortlessly.
Discover a world of drone-friendly airlines that embrace your airborne companion. Some airlines permit drones as carry-on items, allowing you to keep your gear close. Others require you to check in your drone as part of your luggage. Uncover the drone policies of different airlines, ensuring compatibility with your travel plans and maximizing convenience.
Get ready to embark on an extraordinary drone travel adventure with this ultimate guide. By understanding airline regulations, researching drone-friendly carriers, and preparing meticulously, you'll soar through the skies with confidence. Unleash your drone's potential, capture breathtaking footage, and create memories that will last a lifetime. Embrace the thrill of drone travel while complying with regulations, and let your imagination take flight!
