DUBAI: As per the airline’s baggage regulations, travelers can carry or check in up to 15 PEDs, but these must be packed separately and not attached to other devices.
Additionally, smart bags, hoverboards, and mini Segways—all of which contain large lithium batteries—are strictly prohibited from both checked and hand luggage, even if other airlines allow them.
Passengers are also urged to review customs regulations regarding restricted items, including electronics, alcohol, cigarettes, and medication, as rules differ across countries. The airline further highlighted the UAE’s zero-tolerance drug policy, cautioning that even small quantities of illegal substances could lead to severe penalties.
