Do you prefer using smart travel suitcases or bags when flying? Stay informed about Bamboo Airways' updated regulations for passengers carrying Lithium battery-equipped luggage on their flights.
Smart suitcases or bags equipped with Lithium batteries, featuring advanced functionalities, are considered essential travel companions that make your journey much smoother. However, these items are often a concern for airlines due to their high risk of spontaneous combustion. This is because smart luggage powered by Lithium batteries may include motors, backup chargers, GPS, GSM, Bluetooth, RFID, or Wi-Fi technology.
To ensure the safety of every flight, Bamboo Airways has recently implemented clear and specific regulations regarding Lithium battery-equipped luggage. Details include:
Smart suitcases or bags are only accepted for transport by Bamboo Airways if they meet the following requirements:
- APPROVED FOR TRANSPORT AS CARRY-ON LUGGAGE in the following cases:
+ Non-removable Lithium batteries must have a maximum power capacity of 2.7 Wh for Lithium-ion batteries or must not exceed 0.3 grams for Lithium metal batteries.
+ Alternatively, Lithium batteries must be removable with a maximum capacity of 160 Wh and can remain installed in the device.
+ The luggage weight must comply with the standard carry-on baggage allowance.
+ All transmission functions (e.g., Bluetooth, Wi-Fi) must comply with the restrictions for portable electronic devices carried on board.
- APPROVED FOR TRANSPORT AS CHECKED LUGGAGE in the following cases:
+ Non-removable Lithium batteries must have a maximum power capacity of 2.7 Wh for Lithium-ion batteries or must not exceed 0.3 grams for Lithium metal batteries and must be completely powered off before being checked.
+ Lithium batteries with a maximum capacity of 160 Wh must be removed and carried into the aircraft cabin. In such cases, the luggage can be accepted for regular check-in.
- Bamboo Airways REFUSES TO TRANSPORT bags or suitcases integrated with:
+ Non-removable Lithium batteries exceeding a capacity of 2.7 Wh.

Bamboo Airways will review and verify information regarding the weight, battery capacity used in bags or suitcases, as well as inspect the structure of removable or non-removable batteries before accepting passenger luggage for transport. If the battery specifications are not clearly indicated or lack accompanying verified technical documentation, the luggage WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED FOR TRANSPORT under any circumstances.
The above outlines the latest regulations implemented by Bamboo Airways for passengers carrying Lithium battery-equipped luggage on their flights. It is essential to review and adhere to these guidelines to ensure a smooth travel experience. Additionally, when booking your flight, proactively inquire or pay attention to the information provided by the airline's customer service team, ticket offices, or agents.
