  1. I’ve taken mine in my hand luggage every time I’ve travelled, where are you flying from? Best idea would be to go onto that airport’s website and have a look at their ‘Baggage Restrictions’ section – hope that helps!

  2. Clearly, prohibicià is no ³ n, baterÃas of any type

  3. This type of battery this small is not a problem, and you can carry them on the plane with you. If they won’t allow them in your carry-on, just put them in your checked luggage.
    Put one of the batteries into your camera, and keep the other in its original sealed package.

  4. Sà ³ in the invoiced luggage, with the aim not in the hand luggage. Have to Nice flight.Glà ¼ cklich Feet

  5. Actually, if they’re loose they REQUIRE that you keep them in your carry on bag.

    Effective January 1, 2008, the Department of Transportation (DOT) through the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) will no longer allow loose lithium batteries in checked baggage.
