Interline baggage policy
If your travel starts in the United States and the first carrier on your booking is not Emirates, different rules may apply.
Interline flights are flights that are on the same ticket as your Emirates flights, but operated by another airline and do not have an 'Emirates' flight number. These airlines may have a different baggage allowance to Emirates. Refer to the interline partner baggage allowances for information on allowances and charges for carry-on baggage and the first and second checked bag.
Personal motorised vehicles are not allowed on board
For safety reasons, we can’t accept personal motorised vehicles such as hoverboards, mini-Segways and smart or self-balancing wheels on our flights. We can’t carry them either as checked-in baggage or as hand luggage as they contain large lithium batteries. This regulation still applies even if you’re connecting to our flights from an airline that has accepted them.
