These batteries ok for JetBlue flight?

Hi all!

Flying from Fort Lauderdale to Vegas in a couple days to take a Southwest roadtrip (can't wait). Planning to take my new Nikon Z 6II camera, Nikon D500 camera, GoPro camera, and Mavic Air drone. I'm flying JetBlue and they don't have a clear drone or battery policy (was just on the phone with them for over an hour before they basically said our policies are not as detailed as other airlines so we just adhere to TSA policy). Planning to bring these batteries:

- 4x EN-EL15 batteries for the Nikon cameras (in secure battery pouch)
- 4x GoPro batteries (in secure battery pouch)
- 3x Mavic Air batteries (each in their own fire retardant bags)
- 1x USB battery block charger

Per  www.faa.gov/hazmat/packsafe/ under the "Batteries, lithium" section, there doesn't appear to be any battery limits for those under 100Wh which all of these easily are. Was hoping someone could help confirm based on their travels since I'd prefer not to take less batteries if possible and don't want to be stuck at the airport.

Thanks!

Yeah you'll be fine, as long as they are not wet cell batteries, you already see the 100watt reference.  These batteries are all small.  I have never had any issues carrying camera gear batteries, even larger Sony batteries for my lights.

The only time I had a hard time getting on a flight with my camera gear was with my tripod, which they just stored it away below the plane in special spot.  Nothing was said about the camera batteries I had.
