However, to help you stay on the right side of the law, Naomi Hanson, from vape companyblu,has answered the most common questions around vaping while travelling. <\/p>\n
The regulations around travelling with vapes vary by the country youre travelling to, and also, the airline itself. <\/p>\n
Most airlines will allow vapes in hand luggage, but they wont be allowed in the hold. <\/p>\n
As vapes have batteries, theyre required to be put onto a tray, similar to portable chargers, tablets and laptops. <\/p>\n
However, its worth checking with the airline that youre travelling with on how many batteries youre allowed to take on board. Most have a limit of 20, but its still worth checking. <\/p>\n
Also, if youre travelling with vape juice, remember that your liquids need to go in 100ml bottles, so make sure theyre in bottles no bigger than that, and in a clear bag so that you get through security easier. <\/p>\n
Generally, you cant vape in the airport. However, some airports have designated smoking areas outdoors that you can go to for a smoke or a vape. <\/p>\n
According to Airport Parking and Hotels (APH), Aberdeen, Bournemouth, Doncaster, East Midlands, Bristol, Cardiff, Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester T1 and T2 and Newcastle Airports are the only airports with a smoking area after security. <\/p>\n
While vaping in some countries is legal, its worth checking beforehand whether its legal to actually bring vapes from another country, as you could get a fine when you reach your destination. <\/p>\n
However, some of the popular destinations from the UK that have banned vaping, or the importing of vapes for personal use, include Australia, Turkey, Mexico and Thailand. <\/p>\n
However, we have a full list on the blu website of all of the places that vaping is illegal, and also a full list of places that allow vaping. <\/p>\n
Some hotels in Europe have smoking rooms, meaning you can smoke in your hotel room. <\/p>\n
However, if the hotel has a no smoking policy, then there are likely to be smoke alarms in the room, which you could set off if you were to vape in the hotel. <\/p>\n
Contact the hotel beforehand if you want a smoking room, so that youre more likely to get one and be able to vape in your room. <\/p>\n
As for balconies, most balconies will allow smoking and vaping, but again, its definitely worth checking with your hotel beforehand in case you get hit with any unwanted fines and penalties. <\/p>\n
As well as restrictions on vaping, some countries haveother unusual lawsthat could catch Brits out abroad including wearing high heels inGreeceand feeding the pigeons in Venice. <\/p>\n
And this mistake could see you get fined 52k in Italy. <\/p>\n
