Turkish Airlines strictly prohibits the use of electronic cigarettes or vaping devices onboard its aircraft at all times.
Turkish Airlines E-Cigarette Carry Policy
You may bring electronic cigarettes and spare lithium batteries for personal use ONLY in your carry-on baggage or on your person.
- Carry-on ONLY: E-cigarettes, vaping devices (pens, mods, etc.), spare batteries are strictly forbidden in checked luggage.
- Battery Safety: Batteries must be individually protected to prevent short circuits (in original retail packaging, a battery case, or tape terminals). Power banks must also follow carry-on rules.
- E-liquids: Subject to standard liquid restrictions. Place liquids in containers <= 100ml within a single, transparent, resealable plastic bag (max capacity 1 liter).
What You Need to Pack
- The e-cigarette/vaping device you intend to use during your trip.
- Sufficient spare batteries and/or charging cables kept safely in your carry-on.
- E-liquids in compliant containers (<= 100ml each) within the required clear plastic bag.
What to Absolutely Avoid
- Packing E-cigarettes or Batteries in Checked Baggage: This is a critical safety violation due to fire risk.
- Using Any Vaping Device Onboard: Activating or charging your device inflight is strictly prohibited. This includes aircraft cabins and lavatories.
- Large Quantities of E-liquids: Stick to personal-use quantities that comply with liquid rules. Check Turkish regulations on import limitations.
- Carrying Powerful/Unregulated Devices: Avoid mods/batteries without clear specifications or potentially banned high-wattage devices. Large vaping equipment may be questioned.
Important Considerations
Turkish Regulations: While legal for personal import in limited quantities, the purchase and sale of e-cigarettes/e-liquids within Turkey is banned. Research customs allowances before bringing significant amounts.
Final Check: Policies can change. Always verify the latest regulations on the Turkish Airlines official resources close to your departure.
No Smoking Means No Vaping: Onboard rules explicitly forbid smoking and vaping equally.
