FEATURE Top 10 Travel Tips Planning a trip abroad this summer? Here are some things you need to know about taking your vape on a plane. 1. Vapers, on a whole, can take their devices on airplanes with them, but rules vary depending on the length of your flight and the vape regulations in your destination. Check with the airline you are flying with first, but some airports, such as Gatwick in London, state that e-cigarettes are prohibited from hold luggage. 2. Just like smoking, vaping is prohibited on commercial flights, with one exception – Ryanair sell their own smokeless cigarettes for passengers to use whilst cruising the skies. 3. When it comes to taking your own e-cigarette on a flight it is best to dismantle the device and store it safely in a case for protection. The last thing you want after a long flight is to find that turbulence has caused your vape any damage 4. Lithium batteries have been explicitly forbidden from hold luggage globally due to fire safety regulations so make sure if you are taking these with you, they are packed accordingly and kept in your carry-on bag. 74 | VM23
