Personal Electronic Devices (PEDs) containing lithium batteries, such as laptops, tablets, and e-readers, must be carried in the cabin and have a watt-hour rating of 160Wh or less.

For Jet2 flights in 2026, most personal electronic devices are allowed in hand luggage, provided they meet lithium battery safety standards. You can bring laptops, tablets, smartphones, and e-readers, as well as cameras and portable power banks. However, power banks and spare batteries MUST be in your carry-on; they are strictly prohibited in the cargo hold due to fire risks. Each battery should generally not exceed 100Wh (Watt-hours). Smaller items like electric toothbrushes, hair straighteners, and travel irons are also permitted. A crucial 2026 rule for Jet2 (and all UK carriers) is that your devices must be charged; if security asks you to turn on a laptop and the battery is dead, they may deny the item entry. Large electrical equipment, such as professional drones or medical devices, requires prior airline approval and specific battery protection to prevent short circuits during the flight.
