What matters for this exact combination
British Airways treats drones as portable electronic devices. Devices with installed batteries may travel in cabin or checked baggage when packed correctly. Spare lithium batteries are cabin-only; up to four spares ≤100 Wh are allowed, while 100–160 Wh batteries require prior approval and are limited to two spares.
British Airways note: British Airways publishes up to four spare batteries at or below 100 Wh in total, of which up to two may be power banks. Power banks stay accessible and out of the overhead locker. 100–160 Wh batteries require operator approval.

Mavic 2 Pro and Mavic 2 Zoom use the official 59.29 Wh Intelligent Flight Battery.
Before you pack
- Count every loose/spare drone battery, not only the standard pack.
- Keep spare lithium batteries protected against short circuit and in cabin baggage.
- Add power banks separately because 2026 rules can be stricter than ordinary spare-battery limits.
- If your itinerary has a connection, check every operating carrier — the stricter segment can control the practical result.
