All Passengers travelling on flights to, from or via Dubai are prohibited from transporting pagers and walkie talkies in checked or cabin baggage.

Such items found in passengers' hand luggage or checked baggage will be confiscated by Dubai Police.

Customers are reminded that they may not carry or check in more than 15 personal electronic devices (PED).

Personal electronic items should be packaged separately, and not taped or attached to another electrical item. For safety reasons, the authorities may confiscate items which are badly packaged or if the number of items carried exceed limit of 15 PEDs per passenger.

Please refer to our policies relating to the carriage of PEDs, batteries and other goods that may be restricted due to safety or regulatory requirements here.

For safety reasons, we can’t accept personal motorised vehicles such as smart bags with motorised rideable scooter, hoverboards, mini-Segways and smart or self-balancing wheels on our flights. Emirates prohibits the carriage of all such devices with or without batteries as checked-in or carry-on baggage. This regulation still applies even if you’re connecting to our flights from an airline that has accepted them.
