Can a DJ controller with a built-in battery go in carry-on?

Yes, devices with built-in lithium-ion batteries are allowed in the cabin. In fact, they must travel in the cabin and cannot be checked if the battery is non-removable.

Can I bring the DJ controller on the BASIC fare?

The BASIC fare only includes a small personal item (40x30x25 cm). Book the carry-on add-on or choose the SMART fare.

Step by Step

How to book your DJ Controller on Eurowings

Measure your DJ controller including its bag or case.
If it fits within carry-on dimensions (55x40x23 cm): Book online (at least SMART fare).
If it exceeds the limits: Check it as baggage in a padded case.
On a BASIC fare, verify that carry-on baggage is included — otherwise add the carry-on option.
Bring the controller as carry-on to the gate.
Stow it carefully in the overhead bin. Place it separately on the belt at security screening.

Practical Tips

Good to Know

Most 2-channel controllers fit as carry-on. 4-channel controllers (e.g., DDJ-1000, approx. 68x36 cm) exceed the limits. Use a padded controller bag. Transport laptop and USB drives separately in your backpack.
