Can I bring my Mavic Pro and batteries as hand luggage with Avianca Airlines....Travelling to Chile in March from Costa Rica.

To know definitively you need to call the airline's customer service number and ask them.

Hey Silverback, Did you find out anything from the airline ? Information for this thread would be great !

There is absolutely no problems in bringing your Mavic pro with Avianca. I had no problems.
They didnt evening asked me if I was carrying any type of batteries at check-in.
I volunteered the information and all they said that I have to carry the batteries as hand luggage.

Interesting. I just spoke with someone who said they have to fly cargo....will be checking with another Avianca source tomorrow. Flying Li-ion cargo sounds totally stupid.

How many batteries are we talking here?

I have five MA batteries and two Crystal Sky batteries.....might need to share the load with someone else. That is certainly true with Air Canada which only allows, "One battery in the drone and two spares."
