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.
Know the Rules and Unleash Your Drone's Potential
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.
Battery Regulations: Powering Up the Skies:
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!
Preparing for the Journey: Unleash Your Inner Explorer:
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.
Airline Policies: Find Your Perfect Match:
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.

Hey man, you're going to have an epic time over there! When it comes to registration, Cambodia doesn't need it, just avoid flying near the temples and in the capital city of Phnom Penh. For Thailand, if you're in a rush, the best guys out there I've found are https://www.phantomthailand.com/product/Drone-Insurance that could do it in 3 days for you. For Laos, the best recommendations are on the post http://www.drone-made.com/blog/laos-drone-laws but I do not know anyone that successfully obtained one yet. In none of these countries should your drone be confiscated but please share your feedback once done on the forum for all to learn from your travel experience with your drone.
Hey, last minute crisis here. Hoping you can help me out. I am traveling to Thailand, Cambodia, and Laos. I did not have time to register/insure. I figured I would take it and see about registering it locally at each. If I cannot register, then I would not fly there.
But, I don’t want to go to a country only to have it confiscated in customs, simply for having it in my possession and no plan to fly. Can I safely travel with it unregistered through these locations?
Leaving very soon,
Greatly appreciate any reply!!
