He was.
I think JP either has impaired sarcasm detectors or is being intentionally obtuse.
Am I allowed to carry the drone with me on an international flight?

For Canada, check out catsa.gc.ca but it's similar to the u.s. Drone airline restrictions , btw We have more stricter drone laws which are changing soon by the end of 2017.
I travelled to Toronto via westjet with props on my mavic (with blade retaining strap), two spare batteries (terminals covered, padded case) in carry on with no issues. I am not sure about batteries having to be drained but I drained them to be sure. These were in a hardshell in my backpack and no issues at all, not even an inspect.

Did you bring your Mavic to Domincan Republic?. How did it go?.
Reason I am asking is because my wife and I are thinking of making a trip there but want to know ahead of time, it would be nice to bring the Mavic.
i just got back from there 3 days ago...went to Punta Cana...flew with Copa Air...
i didn't bring my Mavic [emoji17] called the airline 3 times before that to asked them if iam allowed and the 3 different reps said NO...couldn't find any positive information ab it on their website ...
Check the airline that you are flying with...few months ago i went to Europe (Greece and Bulgaria) and i didn't have any problems btw.
Just got scared this time...didn't wanna risk cuz i didnt find any good information.
I flew in early August to the UK from Canada on Air Canada. No issues with airline, security, or customs.
I am going to Punta Cana in Dec and checked with there local authorities about bringing a drone in for personal use. You MUST apply for and be granted a permit to fly a drone in Dominca Republic. Without this permit flying one would be illegal according to the government authorities I conversed with. There are numerous hoops you will have to jump through as well when applying for said permit. You risk having your equipment seized if your caught flying without a permit or flying where you are not allowed. Have fun and and have a great trip
Dominican cops are only worried about kicking haitians out...plenty of tourists flying here constantly, mavic, spark, phantom, even karma. Bring an extra $1000 peso note (about $20) and enjoy flying here in DR!
Having just returned from a trip to Europe (London, Norway and Copenhagen) where I flew a total of 14 airline flight segments, I wanted to bring up one more thing. Many airports are operating under increased scrutiny due to recent terrorist events. While I never got questioned about the drone, I was asked to remove and separate it from my bag a few times as it was considered a "large" electronic similar to the laptop rules.
