Yes, you can bring a tablet in your carry-on baggage. In fact, it's generally recommended to do so.
Devices containing lithium batteries, such as tablets, laptops, and smartphones, are safer when transported in the passenger cabin. This is because the cargo hold often experiences temperature fluctuations that could potentially affect the battery's stability. If a device malfunctions in the cabin, it's also easier for the crew to respond quickly.
Here's a breakdown of why and how to travel with your tablet:
- Lithium Battery Safety: Airlines prefer you keep devices with lithium batteries (like your tablet) in the carry-on.
- Accessibility: Keeping your tablet in your carry-on gives you easy access for entertainment during the flight.
- Security: You're less likely to have your tablet damaged or lost when it's with you in the cabin.
There are no specific restrictions on the size or type of tablet you can bring in your carry-on, as long as it complies with the airline's overall size and weight restrictions for carry-on baggage. Remember to power off your tablet or put it in airplane mode during takeoff and landing, as instructed by the flight crew.
