Here's a breakdown:

  • Standard Hair Dryers: Most standard hair dryers are permitted in both carry-on and checked baggage.

  • Cordless Hair Dryers (Battery Powered): Cordless hair dryers powered by batteries must be packed in your carry-on luggage. This is due to regulations regarding lithium batteries and potential fire hazards in the cargo hold.

  • Packing Considerations: Whether you pack your hair dryer in your carry-on or checked bag, ensure it's well-protected to prevent damage during transit. Use padding or soft clothing to cushion it.
