I’m flying from Toronto to Islamabad with a 4-hour layover in Jeddah on Saudi Arabian Airlines. Planning to bring my DJI Mini 3 (under 250g) with the RC screen controller and a single battery. Everything fits in my carry-on backpack, but I’m worried—will I run into issues transiting through Jeddah? Could they confiscate my drone?
If you’re concerned, just put the drone in your checked baggage.
You should pack the drone in your checked luggage and keep the battery in a Lipo-safe bag in your carry-on.
Also, if you plan to leave the airport in Jeddah for any reason, customs won’t let you take the drone through.
