Do not place UAVs in your hold luggage. Dronebatteries should be placed in a medium sized lipo-battery pocket, as shown here in the left picture, and put into the airplane in the carrying-case. They are classified by airline companies as "dangerous goods" and the regulations that surround these cells in airplanes are very stringent because these cells have caught fire several times.

If you do not correctly package lithium-ion battery in a case such as the one shown in the above links, the carrier may confiscate it, impose a fine on you or refuse to carry it.

The Samoa Air, which opened in 2012, asks customers to indicate their own weights when making their reservations, which will then be calculated per kg (2.2 lb) depending on the lengh. Although the company introduced the scheme last November, it attracted interest last weeks when the company started flying internationally to neighbouring American Samoa and came up against the release of a study by a renowned scientist from Norway on overweight travel.

Some of the world's most common bariatric islands, many of them in the top 10, according to the WHO, are located in the Pacific Islands. According to the latest WHO 2008 WHO bulletin, Samoa ranks fourth, 59.6 per cent of the general public is regarded as overweight. Under Samoa Air's latest timetable, up to 1.32 WS$ (0.57 $) per kg for internal travel and 2.40 WS$ (1.03 $) per kg for the only internal Samoa to American Samoa travel, approximately 250 mile.

$154.50 for a one-way 150 kg air travel. The price for kids under 12 years of age is 75 per cent of the price for adults, depending on their size and age. Obesity luggage is billed at the same rates as the passenger's own body post.
