Hi all,
I'm wanting to go on a flight soon from Australia to New Zealand taking one phantom 3 S battery. I have a LiPo bag to carry it with.
Are P3 batteries permitted on Jetstar flights?
Here's what you'll find if you search Jetstar's website:
If you’re travelling with a device containing lithium batteries, here are some things you need to know:
- There are no restrictions for batteries under 101Wh (eg found in mobile phones, laptops)
- All spare batteries must travel as carry-on baggage.
- Batteries in checked baggage must have the ON/OFF switch protected to prevent accidental activation.
- Batteries between 101Wh and 160Wh (eg in medical equipment) require airline approval, which you can request by emailing [email protected].
- Any batteries over 160Wh must be sent by Qantas Freight (except motorised mobility aids, see below).
No-one at the airport or on the plane will know what a Lipo bag is or care whether you have one.
No-one at the airport or on the plane will care what level of charge is in it (that's just a forum myth)
You'll find the capacity of your batteries printed on them.
The short version is you'll have no problem as long as you put the battery in your carry-on luggage.
