IATA general guidance
The IATA 2026 passenger guidance places power banks in carry-on baggage only. An airline may impose stricter Wh or quantity limits, so its rule takes priority.
This first release checks airline and departure-security rules. The destination country’s customs and import rules must be checked separately.
This tool summarizes official rules for clarity. Airline policy, airport security and current regulations can differ. Check the official source again on your travel day.

Frequently asked questions
Can I take a power bank in hand luggage?
Power banks are carried in the cabin only; the Wh and quantity limit can vary by airline. Check the selected airline’s official rule.
How much liquid can I take in cabin baggage?
At Türkiye security checkpoints, each liquid container must be no more than 100 ml and liquids must fit in one 1-litre resealable bag.
Can I bring medicine or baby food on a plane?
Liquid medicine and baby food may qualify for a cabin-baggage exception in the amount needed, subject to security inspection. Keep the original packaging and any relevant medical proof ready.
Can I bring a drone in my checked bag?
A drone may be carried in the cabin when its lithium battery is protected and within the airline’s limits. Larger-capacity batteries may need advance approval.
Can I take smart luggage on a plane?
A removable smart-luggage battery must be removed before the bag is checked and carried in the cabin. Bags with non-removable batteries may be refused by the airline.
Can I bring a lighter on a plane?
Lighters and matches cannot be placed inside cabin or checked baggage. Turkish Airlines states an on-person exception for one small lighter or one small pack of safety matches; fuel and torch types are forbidden.
