Di2 - Flying with Ryan Air
Hi,
I am flying with Ryan Air in the summer and my Canyon Ultimate CF SLX has the Di2 battery inside the frame. To remove the battery I have to take off cranks and bottom bracket. Ideally I want to leave the battery in place. I called Ryan Air (not sure the guy understood the nature of the battery and kept calling it an electric bike) to ask if it has to be removed and they said yes (you are allowed Li-Ion batteries in hand luggage). I tweeted the question to Ryan Air today and they said it would be ok to fly with it in the frame.
Anyone have experience with flying with Ryan Air with internal battery?
Thanks
Lee

Here is the British Airways info which should be the same for any IATA/ICAO carrier:
http://www.britishairways.com/cms/global/pdfs/lithium_battery.pdf
If we work on the principle that it is 'built in' and it is below 100wh (actually only 3.7wh) then it is fine in Checked in luggage.
If you look at http://www.ryanair.com/en/terms-and-conditions/article8-prohibitedarticles/ you will find a list of what you cannot take. Li-ion batteries are not mentioned.
Personally I wouldn't fly with Ryan Air.
Personally I wouldn't bother. Would you remove your lithium battery from your ipad(you cant) whilst you travelled, yes I know it would normally be in hand luggage but let's assume it was in your suitcase?
