Gadget Rules For Airports: Summer holidays are about to start. If you are planning to travel with your family and friends, then it is important to know the rules for carrying gadgets at the airport. By understanding these rules, you can avoid problems during check-in and security check at the airport.
Do not keep the power bank in your luggage
Power banks, batteries or battery-powered devices cannot be placed in large suitcases (checked-in luggage). Most airlines and airports prefer you to put them in your smaller bag (carry-on luggage). However, you can remove the battery from the device and put the device in a large suitcase and the battery in a smaller bag. Also, power banks with more than 20000mAh power or more than 100Wh capacity cannot be carried on the plane.
Remove items like laptops, phones, etc. during security checks
Laptops, smartphones and other electronic devices are placed in separate trays during security checks at the airport. So place your devices and their charging cables in the tray. Keep in mind that some laptops and smartphones are not allowed on the plane.
Get out your smartwatch too
Airports and airlines allow you to put your smartwatch in your carry-on bag without any hassle, but yes, it will have to be placed in a separate tray during security checks.
Take out the speaker too
Are you carrying TWS earbuds, headphones or portable speakers? These too will need to be placed in a separate tray and removed for screening during security checks at the airport. Some airports and airlines may also ask you to remove the charging cable.
Place the electric shaver or razor in your luggage
Electric shavers and razors are allowed at the airport. You can put them in your small bag (carry-on) or large suitcase (check-in). However, old-fashioned razor blades and disposable razors with detachable blades can only be put in the large suitcase. Note that airports may have special rules for these blades, such as a maximum number or size.
camera equipment too
If you want to carry your professional camera with large lenses and tripod, these may have to be checked separately at the airport. However, if your entire camera equipment can fit in a large suitcase (check-in) or small bag (carry-on) without batteries, then separate checking will not be required.
E-cigarettes not allowed
Electronic cigarettes are illegal in India, meaning you cannot take them with you to the airport. If these cigarettes are found with you, they can be confiscated and you may also face legal trouble.
