Airplane Rules, Can a drone be brought on planes

Can I bring a drone as carry-on? I’m too nervous to let it out of my sight. Are there any rules against that?

Yes. You can bring it in your carry-on or personal item. If you check the drone, keep the batteries in your carry-on.

Yes and No. If your destination allows drones, then yes! I’ve flown with mine many times in a carry-on. Regulations say spare batteries should be in fire-proof cases, but I’ve never been checked for this. If the place you’re going doesn’t allow drones, it might be taken away. I almost brought mine on a trip, but found out last minute that drones were banned there without special permission. Always check before you go!

Exactly. It all depends on where you’re headed. Some places will take them unless you have prior approval.

@Max
True.

A quick Google search would answer that.

I’ve flown with mine a few times. Keep it in your carry-on and take it out at security like a laptop.

Depends on the country or state you’re visiting. To be safe, get the MSDS from DJI in case they ask about it.

I had mine in a case, no issues! Just make sure the batteries aren’t inside the drone.

It’s fine if the batteries are inside, at least for U.S. travel.
