Travel converters?

[corchard]

Does anyone know if a travel voltage converter is required for the charger or will just a plug adaptor or new cable work?

The input voltage on the back of the unit says 110-240 ~1.4 A 50-60 Hz so I'm thinking just a plug.

Experiences positive & negative?

Product recommendations?

I bought my Air in the US and currently live in Switzerland. I have a basic converter which I use in between my wall outlet and the charger included with the AIR. NO PROBLEMS!

Also, I had NO problems transporting the Drone on the plane from US to Germany and then from Germany to Switzerland. Drone can come with you in the cabin but its best to check the batteries in your bags under the plane.

The charger works worldwide. All you need is an adaptor plug for your destination country.

but its best to check the batteries in your bags under the plane.

Most airlines don't allow this and if they find your batteries in checked baggage they'll remove them and take them home to use with their drones.

So when I got to the desk at Philly airport I asked how I should transport my new drone. A manager came over and then made a call to his supervisor. I waited about 3 minutes as I could see the guy talking on the phone. He finally came over and said to check the batteries and keep the drone on a carry on. Flying Lufthansa.

Flying Lufthansa.

Per Lufthansa's website: "Only allowed in carry-on baggage:
E-cigarettes
Lithium-ion spare batteries "

And the FAA states: " The FAA requires that you carry e-cigarettes and spare lithium batteries in your carry-on baggage. They are always forbidden in checked baggage — including in bags checked at the gate or planeside."

You got lucky.
