Power Bank Rules on Corendon Airlines

New international (ICAO) rules apply from 27 March 2026, and European airlines follow them:

  • Each passenger can carry up to two power banks, in cabin baggage only, never in checked bags.
  • Power banks cannot be charged on board, and you cannot use them to charge phones or other devices during the flight.
  • Up to 100 Wh needs no approval; 100–160 Wh needs approval from the airline. Keep them within reach, not in the overhead bin.

Check-In for Holiday Flights

Online check-in opens 48 hours before departure. Holiday airports are busy in summer, so arrive at least two and a half hours before international flights.

Families and Special Assistance

Infants under two travel on an adult’s lap, and pushchairs and car seats can usually be checked in free. Request wheelchairs and other special assistance at least 48 hours before the flight.

All-Inclusive Holidays in Turkey

Many passengers book a package with flights and hotel:

  • Antalya, Side, Belek and Alanya have large all-inclusive resorts.
  • Packages usually include transfers from the airport.
  • The season runs from April to October.
