    Airport Security Guide: Electronics Allowed in Checked Luggage vs. Carry-On

    The stress of airport security lines intensifies when you’re unsure whether your gadgets will pass inspection. Packing electronics incorrectly can trigger delays, confiscations, or even denied boarding. Lithium-ion batteries—found in most modern devices—pose fire risks at 30,000 feet, prompting strict FAA and TSA regulations. Understanding these rules is essential for smooth travels.

    Electronics Permitted in Checked Luggage

    You can safely pack these electronics in checked baggage with precautions:

    • Hair dryers, electric shavers, and headphones (no battery restrictions)
    • Gaming consoles like PlayStation or Nintendo Switch
    • Laptops, tablets, and cameras (if powered by installed lithium batteries)
    • AirTags/trackers (verify airline policies first)

    Critical precautions from FAA guidelines:

    1. Remove all spare lithium batteries (must go in carry-on)
    2. Power off devices completely
    3. Pad fragile items like laptops to prevent damage
    4. Declare electronics during check-in

    Pro Tip: Airlines aren’t liable for lost/damaged checked items. Carry valuables like cameras in hand luggage despite their permitted status.

    Electronics Banned in Checked Bags

    These items are strictly prohibited in checked luggage due to fire hazards:

    • Power banks and phone chargers
    • Spare lithium batteries (any size)
    • E-cigarettes and vape pens
    • Smart luggage with non-removable batteries
    • Most drones (lithium batteries must be carried on)

    TSA mandates these devices be placed in carry-ons where potential fires can be contained. Exceptions are rare—consult your airline 72 hours pre-flight if unsure.

    Ultimately, TSA agents have final authority on all electronics. Packing correctly avoids costly mistakes—keep prohibited items in your carry-on, protect fragile devices, and always double-check airline-specific rules before departure.

    Must Know

    Can I pack a laptop in checked luggage?
    Yes, but it’s risky. FAA allows laptops with installed batteries but advises against it due to damage/theft concerns. Remove spare batteries. Power off the device and cushion it thoroughly if checking it.

    Are power banks allowed in checked bags?
    No. The FAA bans all power banks and portable chargers in checked luggage. These must be in your carry-on with terminals protected (e.g., tape-covered or in original packaging).

    What about electric toothbrushes or shavers?
    Battery-free electric shavers are permitted. Rechargeable ones with lithium batteries should ideally be carried on, though FAA permits them if installed. For safety, carry them on.

    Can I check smart luggage?
    Only if the battery is removable. FAA requires non-removable lithium batteries to be carried on. Remove batteries before gate-checking smart bags.

    Are drones allowed in checked baggage?
    Usually not. Most drone batteries exceed FAA size limits for checked bags. Carry them in your hand luggage with terminals insulated. Verify airline policies beforehand.
