Power Bank Rules on Binter Canarias
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 in the Canary Islands
Online check-in opens 48 hours before departure. Inter-island flights are short and airports are small, but arrive at least one hour before domestic flights and two 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.
Island-Hopping in the Canaries
Short flights make it easy to visit more than one island:
- La Palma and La Gomera are green and quiet, ideal for hiking.
- Lanzarote and Fuerteventura have volcanic landscapes and long beaches.
- El Hierro is the smallest and most remote island.
