Travel updates

From 1 October, using or charging a power bank on board Emirates flights will no longer be permitted. Customers can still carry one power bank on board and it must be in cabin baggage. Power banks are not permitted in checked-in baggage.

The power bank can have a maximum capacity of 100 watt-hour (Wh) and the capacity rating must be clearly visible on the power bank.

On the aircraft, power banks cannot be stowed in the overhead lockers. Your power bank must be placed in a bag under the seat in front of you or in the seat pocket in front of you. Power banks cannot be used to charge any personal devices on board and charging the power bank is also not permitted.

These enhanced measures are designed to minimise the risk associated with power banks during the flight. For more information, please visit the Dangerous Goods Policy page.

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 which operate as motorised rideable scooters, hoverboards, or mini Segways on our flights. We can’t carry them either as checked in baggage or as hand luggage as they contain large lithium batteries. This regulation still applies even if you’re connecting to our flights from an airline that has accepted them.
