Are laptops allowed in checked baggage?

Yes, airlines allow laptops in checked luggage, but it's important to be aware of the risks involved. Spare laptop batteries aren't allowed, and the laptop has to be in a switched-off state and closed when packed in checked luggage. To minimize the risks, it's recommended that you pack your laptop in a carry-on instead. When packed in hand luggage, the laptop has to be charged and placed in an easily-accessible place.
