I had one carry on bag with my drone and batteries with remote and props in my hold luggage. at the exit there is a bag checking area and no one was stopped this time. I know my wife got checked last year. But, there is a new terminal now at Dalaman and hear it is a bit of a shambles staff wise...

Flew April and no issues in and out. Some tips though. It is a camera, if asked, camera batteries. No need to mention 'DRONE'.

Although that does not mean you can't take your drone. I'm taking mine next week

Only Turkish nationals can register a drone
