I'll fly soon with fly emirates, according to their drone policy they only allow drones as checked in luggage. therefore, I will just put my drone in my check in luggage but the batteries in my carry on luggage I guess

@@mkcinematicwarm everything worked out fine and I haven’t had a single issue. I’ve had other flights in the meantime as well in which I put my drone in my carry on luggage, no problem either. I do advice to check the drone policy from your airline and to put the batteries in lipo bags when traveling.

Solid video. One thing you didn't address though that has caught me several times: luggage carry on weight limits on international flights. Every international flight I've been on has had a carry-on weight limit of a combined 15kg. Just my DSLR and a few lenses are enough to be well past that limit. Then you tack on a drone, and maybe even a laptop, and you have utterly blown through the weight limit. I know they don't always check for weight, but I've had them check quite a few times, and it creates horrible difficulty every time. What do you do?

@caseylance88 Жыл бұрын
You are normally allowed a "personal item" with your carry-on. I put my drone and photography equipment in my backpack (right at allowed weight), and then carry a laptop bag with laptop and chargers as the "personal item"

I will be flying with TAP Air Portugal, their website states that drones must be in checked in luggage and I can't take my drone into cabin in a backpack. This is really weird and actually the opposite of most other airlines where they want you to carry your drone in the cabin with you. Have you flown with TAP Air Portugal before? I see a b-roll footage at 7:35 showing a TAP Air Portugal A319 Cabin.

Thank you so much for this travel info. I am a new Recreational Drone Pilot and I do have some upcoming travel plans. Unfortunately, the countries I am traveling to are not on your list. I will be going to Saint Vincent and the Grenadines in August 2022. I sent an email to the Caribbean Civil authority 2 weeks ago and have not heard back. I will also be traveling to French Polynesia in June of 2023. I did learn that Bora Bora has major restrictions and I may even need to take 107 to fly there. (I prrobably will in any case) Again, I emailed their Civil Aviation authority and have not heard back. I know I have time, but just want to plan in advance. One of my biggest concerns is getting my drone confiscated by customs. Any thoughts about that and in general about researching these countries is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Ooh, wish we could help more here, Marshall, but you seem to be doing everything you can. Good that you're reaching out ahead of time. Perhaps try calling if you're not getting an email response? Would be wild if Bora Bora required Part 107 exam, I wasn't aware of any reciprocity like that.
