How many vapes can you take on a plane?

SOME people have turned to vaping in an attempt to stop them from smoking.

Here’s everything we know about the rules tourists should know when traveling abroad with e-cigarettes.

How many vapes can you take on a plane?

Some airlines have different rules about how many vapes you can take on a plane.

Some vapes require batteries and the rules about how many you can take on board can vary – it’s wise to check with your airline before flying.

Emirates, Jet2 and Ryanair will allow you to take up to 20 batteries in your hand luggage.

However, British Airways only allows passengers to take 15 batteries in hand luggage and EasyJet only allows two.

Some vaporizers require e-liquid, and there are also restrictions on how many bottles you can take on the plane.

The 100ml liquid rules still apply and you can only consume a maximum of one liter in total.

However, some airports are abandoning this rule.

Most airlines allow you to keep e-liquid in your checked bags, although Qatar Airways does not.

Each airport has its own rules about vaping, but it’s safe to assume the laws are the same for smoking, which can only be done in designated smoking areas outside the terminals.

These smoking areas will be signposted – but if you want to be sure before you travel, you can check the airport’s smoking policy online.

UK airports do not provide smoking areas once passengers have passed security check-in.

Vaping on a flight is subject to the same laws as smoking – it is illegal and strictly prohibited around the world.

If you ignore this law, you could face severe penalties and fines.

It’s not worth the risk of vaping in an airplane’s bathrooms, as airlines have installed detectors to detect both cigarette smoke and e-cigarette vapor.

What are the rules for carrying vapes on UK airlines?

You are allowed to take your vape on the plane as long as you follow the airline’s guidelines.

Vapes that you want to take abroad must be stored in carry-on luggage, as no type of electronic cigarette can be stored in checked luggage.

Previously, passengers could keep vapors in their checked baggage, but there have been incidents where the lithium batteries contained in the vapors exploded in the hold and caught fire.

Can you take disposable vapes on a plane?

You can bring a disposable vaporizer on the plane, as long as it is stored in your carry-on luggage and not in your checked luggage.

You’ll also need to check the vaping laws in the country you’re traveling to – as some places have strict anti-vaping regulations.

34 countries have banned vaping entirely, including Argentina, Brazil, Cambodia, India, Mexico, Norway, Singapore, Thailand and Qatar.

Another 87 countries have imposed restrictions on the sale of e-cigarettes, such as banning online sales and banning certain flavors.

WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said in December 2023: “Children are being recruited and hooked into the use of e-cigarettes at an early age and can become addicted to nicotine.

“I urge countries to implement strict measures to prevent accession in order to protect their citizens, especially their children and young people.”
