🥽 VR headset

Screeners will allow it through — VR headsets are fully permitted in carry-on and checked baggage everywhere. At some airports, particularly those that apply laptop-style rules to larger electronics, you may be asked to remove the headset from your bag and place it in a separate bin for X-ray screening. This is a routine screening step, not a restriction.

No. The lithium battery in a VR headset is well within the standard limits that apply globally — typically 100 watt-hours for batteries in personal electronic devices. There are no regional variations that would restrict a VR headset's battery in carry-on or checked baggage under normal circumstances.

If you know the airport uses a laptop-removal rule for electronics, have the headset easily accessible so you can pull it out quickly and place it in a bin. Keeping it in a separate padded pouch inside your bag makes this fast. Treat it the way you would treat a laptop — easy to access, ready to remove if asked.

Carry-on is strongly recommended. VR headsets contain fragile lenses and delicate electronics that can be cracked or damaged by the pressure and impact of checked baggage handling. Keeping it in the cabin with you protects the lenses and ensures the device arrives in working condition.
