Restricted items

Singapore Airlines restricted items for baggage restrictions

For the comfort, safety, and security of other passengers on the flight, passengers are not allowed to carry restricted items in their carry-on baggage. To minimise inconvenience, you are advised to check in or put these items in your checked-in baggage instead:

While there is no restriction on the carriage of Knee Defenders or similar devices, their use on board the aircraft is strictly prohibited. The use of such a device to prevent a seat in front from reclining alters the intended recline function of the Economy Class seat and interferes with the inflight experience SIA wishes to provide our passengers. For their comfort, all passengers may recline their seats during permitted phases of a flight. During meal service, cabin crew will as a courtesy, request for Economy Class seats to be put upright in consideration of the dining comfort of all passengers.

Electronic cigarettes, also known as e-cigarettes, personal vaporisers or electronic nicotine delivery systems are only allowed in carry-on baggage or on the person, where permitted by the applicable local laws. However, the use of e-cigarettes in the cabin is prohibited at all times.

A lithium battery-powered e-cigarette is considered as a portable electronic device (PED) and is subject to the restrictions for carriage of PEDs. Each e-cigarette must not exceed 100 Wh or 2g lithium content. Up to a maximum of 15 pieces of PEDs are allowed in carry-on baggage and/or on the person. This includes the number of PEDs carried in checked baggage.

Please note that it is illegal to buy, use and possess imitation tobacco products (such as e-cigarettes) in Singapore.

Prohibited personal transportation devices

Singapore Airlines restricted items for baggage restrictions

All small lithium battery-powered personal transportation devices (e.g. mini-Segway, hoverboard, solowheel, airwheel, balance wheel, etc.) are prohibited as checked-in and hand-carry baggage. This is regardless of whether the battery can be removed from the device. If these items are brought to the airport, they will be refused at check-in. It will be the passenger's responsibility to arrange for the storage or disposal of such items prior to boarding.

Carriage of Baggage Powered by Lithium Batteries

Baggage powered by lithium batteries (commonly known as “Smart Baggage”) may include motors, power banks, GPS, GSM, Bluetooth, RFID or Wi-Fi technology.

All current requirements on the carriage of lithium batteries will apply to the carriage of “Smart Baggage”.

In addition, the following requirements must be fulfilled for the “Smart Baggage” to be accepted as:

A. Cabin baggage:

  • Non-removable lithium battery must not exceed 0.3 g lithium metal or for lithium ion must not exceed 2.7 Wh.
  • Removable lithium battery must not exceed 160 Wh.
  • Removable lithium battery may remain installed in the device.
  • As baggage powered by lithium batteries typically exceed 7kg in weight, please either check in the baggage or ensure the baggage is within the 7kg cabin baggage allowance.
  • All transmitting functions (example: Bluetooth, Wi-Fi) must comply with the PED restrictions in the onboard Passenger Safety Information Card.


B. Check-in baggage:

  • Non Removable lithium battery must not exceed 0.3 g lithium metal or for lithium ion must not exceed 2.7 Wh.
  • Removable lithium battery must be removed and carried into the cabin.


If the "Smart Baggage" does not meet the above safety requirements, it will be refused at check-in. It will be the passenger's responsibility to arrange for the storage or disposal of such items prior to boarding.

Baggage Checks in the United States of America (USA)

The US Transportation Security Administration (TSA) stipulates that passengers travelling into and out of US commercial airports can no longer access their checked baggage once baggage screening is completed. Hence, we recommend that you remove all items you will need on board, before checking in your baggage.

TSA advises passengers to leave their baggage unlocked or use a TSA accepted and recognised lock to facilitate the search process. TSA will not be liable for any damage caused to locked bags if they are opened for screening. For bags opened during screening, the screeners will close it with a tamper-evident seal and insert a notice in your bag to inform you that the bag has been opened.

As this procedure is governed by US legislation and beyond the control of the airline, we regret that we cannot be held liable for damage or loss of items from your baggage. You may visit the Transportation Security Administration website for further information.

If you are travelling from airports that serve as the last points of departure to the United States, the TSA may require passengers to undergo enhanced security measures. Such checks may include the inspection of your Personal Electronic Devices (PEDs) prior to carrying them onboard.

  • Laptops
  • Tablets
  • E-readers
  • Camera
  • Portable DVD players
  • Electronic game units larger than a smartphone
  • Travel printers/scanners


Powder-like substances 350ml or larger may also be subjected to additional screening and are prohibited in the cabin. 

Examples of such powders may include, but are not limited to:

  • Talcum Powder
  • Flour
  • Sugar
  • Ground Coffee
  • Spices
