ZETAZS Skate Airline Travel

Guidelines for airline treatment of lithium battery-powered electronic devices in passenger baggage are issued by the International Air Transport Association (IATA). IATA’s current guidelines stipulate the following for portable electronic devices brought aboard a passenger aircraft as either checked or carry-on baggage:

• The device must have a watt-hour rating of less than or equal to 100Wh.
• The battery design must have been tested to a test standard referred to as “UN38.3.”

Our standard range battery meets both of these requirements and is marked as such by a label on the top of the battery pack.

Our extended range battery exceeds 100Wh and will not be permitted on a commercial flight.

Although IATA’s guidelines are widely adopted within the airline industry, each airline defines its own regulations. We highly suggest calling the airline prior to travel, especially if you plan to take your board on an international flight.

The optimal way to transport the board is to remove the standard range battery pack, place it in your carry-on, and check the skateboard alone as luggage. Many of our customers have also successfully brought the skateboard on as a carry-on and placed it in the overhead bins, in the coat closet, or in other available cabin space with the assistance of a flight attendant.
