Is Scout Travel compliant with airline regulations?

F.A.A Regulations

Scout Travel is F.A.A (Federal Aviation Administration) compliant for checked luggage as it meets the guideline for both permissible lithium content & Watt-hour allowance:

• Permissible lithium content (0.3 grams) Scout Travel = 0.05 grams
• Watt-hour allowance (2.7 Wh) Scout Travel = 0.573 Wh

Checked Baggage

Baggage equipped with lithium batteries are only allowed in checked baggage when containing lithium metal batteries with a lithium content not exceeding 0.3 grams, or lithium ion batteries with a Watt-hour rating not exceeding 2.7 Wh.

Portable electronic devices powered by lithium batteries that are placed in checked baggage must be completely switched off (not in sleep or hibernation mode) and protected to prevent unintentional activation or damage.

Baggage Location Tracking Devices

Baggage location tracking devices (or "bag tags") powered by lithium batteries are portable electronic devices that the traveler attaches to or places in baggage to track the location of baggage. Check with the airline before traveling with these devices. If you choose to equip a checked bag with a baggage tracking device, then it must meet the size limits above.

Some airlines may have their own rules and regulations, and so if you have any concerns we recommend contacting your airline prior to arrival at the airport for your own peace of mind and a smooth check in!
