Hello!
So I am going to my home country, Philippines this December and I need more info about this whole regulations thing before I take my drone with me.
This is what I THINK I KNOW and some I KNOW so far.
1. My flight on the way there is gonna be from Ottawa >>> Toronto >>> HongKong >>> Philippines
Going back would be Philippines >>> Japan (FROM WHAT I REMEMBER) >>> Toronto >>> Ottawa
Q1: So is my backpack going to fit in the overhead bins of all these planes/airports? I contacted Air Canada and told me the dimensions that are allowed to fit in the bins and I find that the backpack is either an inch wider or longer or taller I dont remember which. But some people claimed that they've been traveling with their Solo + backpack in many countries including Canada, US, EU countries, Japan, etc.
Also I asked Air Canada if its possible to keep my Solo backpack under the seat in front of me but they said no? I remember keeping a backpack under and in front of me last time I traveled and some also said that you can do that.
2. Lithium Ion....
Q2: Check-in or carry on? Some say they get questioned when they have them carry-in... some say they have to be carried-in. Air Canada said the same thing.
3. The propellers
Q3: Apparently they are counted as knives @_@ like wtf?
4. Taxations?
Apparently it happened to someone in Mexico... why?
I guess the question that matters to me the most is #1
if any of you guys have visited these countries and cities I listed with your 3DR SOLO drone I would like to hear/read your experiences.
