Can you bring an IQOS or other lithium-battery device on a flight to Nha Trang, and should it go in carry-on or checked baggage?
Based on 1 discussion with 3 participants · Last activity: 11 days ago
TL;DR
Devices with lithium batteries are safer to carry in your hand luggage, since batteries are often not allowed in checked bags. Security may ask you to power the device on, and tobacco sticks can be treated separately, so check airline and airport rules before flying.

If you keep the device in your carry-on, be prepared to show that it works: security may ask you to switch it on.

Based on traveler experience, the IQOS device itself may get through if you keep it with you rather than in checked baggage, but tobacco sticks can be an issue — in one case the traveler ended up with the device but no sticks.
