Traveling - Eight Country Trip

[loopholetravel]

My wife and I will be taking a trip around the world soon, crossing through 12 cities and 8 countries. We will have to go through airport security numerous times. I only plan to fly the drone where allowed, but I will need to have it with me during the entire trip. Cities/locations where we will go through security include:

• Seoul
• Hong Kong
• Bangkok
• Phuket
• Koh Samui
• Singapore
• Male (Maldives)
• Istanbul
• Cairo
• Athens
• Santorini

I plan to bring along my Mavic Pro in my carry on backpack. Have any of you traveled with a drone through these areas? I've read conflicting things about the scrutiny of drones. For example, I've read that Egypt can be very harsh toward drones in one account, and that they didn't have any problem in another.

I do know that I must carry on loose batteries for the drone. Those cannot be checked, due to aviation regulations. I would prefer to carry on everything, but I'd love to hear if any of you have encountered issues. Thanks.
