    Security Screening at Dubai airport terminal

    Thanks Paul, that Phantom sure took a great picture. I cannot understand why people are so paranoid about them. Hopefully the next time I fly thru Dubai drones will be more acceptable as obviously luck was on my side. USA & Canada next year then back to Britain the year after. Thailand...

    Security Screening at Dubai airport terminal

    Well in the end I did fly with my PJ3 Professional. I placed the drone in checked in luggage without any batteries and carried on 3 batteries in carry on luggage in lipo bags and with the terminals taped. I passed through security at Dubai both going to London and returning from London to...

    Security Screening at Dubai airport terminal

    Thanks for your response. I think all will be good. I will still put inside suitcase but declare that at check in with Qantas in Australia. That way it will remain in the cargo hold of plane whilst refuelling in Dubai and I will only be risking the batteries as I walk back through Dubai...

    Security Screening at Dubai airport terminal

    I do respect there rules and would not take it into Dubai. I am taking it to England. My only time in Dubai is when I walk from the plane and back through the terminal and through security again and enter the same plane after it has been refuelled. I do not know what the TX battery is but...

    Security Screening at Dubai airport terminal

    I have written to everyone now in Dubai. Last response was from the Government and they said not allowd. Even so, after reading all there is on this site I am going to put my hardshell and P3P inside my suitcase and check it in and carry my batteries as carry on taped and in Lipo bags and hope...

    Security Screening at Dubai airport terminal

    Thats a good idea. I will label them that way but if they do ask me then I will state they are for my flying camera, a quadcopter because I do not want to upset them by telling sort of porkies if they ask questions.

    Security Screening at Dubai airport terminal

    I have now phoned Dubai Police, I have emailed Dubai Police and I have spoken to them on chat three times. The last time was late last night and they still say no. This is rediculous so I cannot take the chance of losing my P3P so I am going to put it in my suitcase surrounded by bubble wrap...

    Security Screening at Dubai airport terminal

    Now that is good news. That is what I was hoping to see. A lot more of those comments and I might be able to risk it but your son may have got a compliant security officer. He may have been lucky. Bob Hyslop near the top of this page/forum reports that his brother must have got a non...

    Security Screening at Dubai airport terminal

    I am not too good at pulling things apart. I rephrase that. Pulling things apart is easy...its putting them back to gether again. However they are still going to take the phantom and batteries which would leave me with a camera and gymbal which would not be of that much use.

    Security Screening at Dubai airport terminal

    Thanks Cheebs. You are right. My wife and I are only sitting in the airport terminal whilst they refuel the plane from Australia en-route to Heathrow but they make you leave the plane with all your carry on luggage (including the drone and batteries) and move through the terminal and come...

    Security Screening at Dubai airport terminal

    Meta 4. After hours I have just managed to phone directly security screening at Dubai Airport. I have been told verbally that they will take the drone from me and the batteries. The only batteries they will allow through are for medical purposes with a certificate. So to put it simply...
