Delayed baggage
If your suitcase is delayed, the arrival airport will handle the search. The first thing you should do is inform our local partners at the arrival airport. The airport staff will help you fill out a Property Irregularity Report (PIR). Baggage reports can only be created at the arrival airport.
If your baggage is delayed for more than 8 hours on your outbound journey, you may be reimbursed for essential items such as toiletries up to DKK 300. Please send your receipts afterwards to kundeservice@dat.dk. Unfortunately, no reimbursement can be made for delays on your return journey. Please note that DAT does not cover perishable goods, and important items should always be carried in your hand luggage.
Damaged luggage
If your checked baggage is damaged during the journey, you must fill out a Damage Report (DPR) at the airport where you arrived. This must be done no later than 7 days after arrival. Upon presentation of the original purchase receipt, DAT will apply a depreciation of 30% of the original purchase price for the first year and 10% for each following year. If no receipt can be provided, compensation is limited to DKK 500. Please complete the damaged baggage form found below under Baggage Insurance.
Baggage Insurance
For additional coverage, we recommend taking out travel insurance and reporting the incident there.
As an airline, our liability is limited according to international law. Please keep all original receipts and your original baggage report.

To ensure the safety of all passengers, special rules apply to the transport of electronic devices and batteries. These regulations depend on the battery type, its Watt-hour (Wh) capacity, and whether it is built into a device or carried as a loose spare.
Overview: Where can I pack my batteries?
| Battery Type | Carry-on Baggage | Checked Baggage |
| Standard Household (AA, AAA, Alkaline, Ni-Cad) | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes (must be protected) |
| Small Lithium < 100 Wh (Built-in to devices) | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes (Device must be OFF) |
| Small Lithium < 100 Wh (Loose/Powerbanks) | ✅ Yes | ❌ Strictly Forbidden |
| Medium Lithium 100 – 160 Wh (All types) | ⚠️ DAT Approval Required | ❌ Strictly Forbidden |
| Large Lithium > 160 Wh (All types) | ❌ Forbidden | ❌ Forbidden |
Safety and Packing Requirements
To prevent fires caused by short-circuits or accidental activation:
Protect Terminals: Loose batteries must be protected against short-circuiting. Keep them in their original retail packaging, tape over the terminals, or place each battery in a separate plastic bag.
Loose Batteries and Powerbanks: All loose/spare lithium batteries and powerbanks must be carried in your hand luggage.
Devices in Checked Baggage: Devices with built-in batteries (laptops, cameras, etc.) must be completely turned off and protected so they cannot accidentally turn on during the flight.
Battery Size Categories
If you are unsure of your battery's capacity, check the manufacturer’s website or the label on the battery.
Small Lithium Batteries (< 100 Wh): Standard mobile phones, watches, powerbanks, and most laptop batteries.
Medium Lithium Batteries (100 – 160 Wh): Laptops, medical electronic devices (PED) and consumer filming and audio recording equipment.
Large Lithium Batteries (more than 160 Wh): Industrial batteries, electric/hybrid vehicle batteries, large powerbanks and professional filming and audio equipment. These are not allowed on passenger aircraft and must be shipped as fully regulated cargo.
How to calculate Watt-hours (Wh):
If only Volts (V) and Ampere-hours (Ah) are listed, use this formula: Wh = V x Ah
(Note: If the rating is in mAh, divide by 1,000 to get Ah. Example: 5,000 mAh = 5 Ah)
🚫 Strictly Forbidden Items
Regardless of battery size, the following items are strictly prohibited in both carry-on and checked baggage:
Hoverboards, Segboards, and Balance-boards.
Electric bicycles (E-bikes).
Electric Wheelchairs and Mobility Aids
If your mobility aid uses lithium batteries, the following limits apply:
Single battery: Maximum 300 Wh.
Two batteries: Maximum 160 Wh each.
Please contact DAT Customer Service at least 5 business days before if you are travelling with a battery-powered wheelchair.
How to Request Permission (100 – 160 Wh)
You may bring a maximum of two lithium batteries between 100 and 160 Wh, but you must receive prior approval from DAT. This permission must be presented at check-in and security.
To request permission, please email kundeservice@dat.dk at least 5 business days before your departure and provide the following:
Images: Clear photos of the battery/powerbank and its labels.
Battery Type: (e.g., Lithium-ion, Lithium-polymer).
Capacity in Wh: The specific Watt-hour rating.
Special baggage
Need to bring your own golf set, surfboard, or skiing equipment on vacation? Golf bags, skiing equipment, and surfboards can be easily booked online during the ticket purchase process. However, other special luggage requires contacting DAT customer service to register and pay after booking your ticket.
DAT considers the following, among others, as special baggage:
Pram, stroller, and car seat (can be carried free of charge without prior booking)
Wheelchair, mobility scooter, and walker
Sports equipment such as bicycles, surfboards, windsurfing sails, diving gear, skis, golf equipment, etc.
Weapons. When transporting weapons, the bolt must be separated from the weapon itself and packed separately in the luggage. A maximum of 5 kg of ammunition in its original packaging may be carried. This must be declared at check-in.
All special baggage is sent on a standby basis. This means that regular checked baggage has first priority in the hold. Therefore, in rare cases, there may not be enough space for special baggage.
It is your own responsibility to ensure that special baggage is packed in such a way that it does not break. DAT would therefore like to point out that you are responsible for damage to fragile equipment sent as checked baggage.
If you wish to travel with special baggage, please contact DATs customer service for registration and payment once you have booked your ticket.
