Don't know Rana, I just copied for the Gov website ?

Yes Bluwise we checked the UK site before, so it's conflicting information coming from two sides.

Having just checked in on line with Easy Jet. I have received an email to say Electronic ban has been lifted from Turkey to Uk with UK Government from 2/08/2017. Does Anyone know if this applies to all airlines as we are travelling with Thomas Cook Airlines next week and their on line chat says you can take them out but not bring them back.

I thought the ban had only been lifted for Turkish Airlines and Pegasus from Istanbul airports and Izmir, so only scheduled flights not holiday companies.

New security requirements on flights from Turkey and Egypt
01/08/2017
We can confirm that, following the updated advice from the UK Government, we will be lifting the security restrictions on Personal Electronic Devices (PEDs) and will be implementing new additional security measures on our flights from Turkey from Wednesday 2 August 2017.
This means that on our flights from Turkey customers will be able to take their electronic devices into the cabin. The devices may be subject to extra security measures and need to be fully charged when getting to the airport.
We will contact customers travelling on these routes from Wednesday directly to inform them about the changes.
Customers should be aware that the security restrictions on Personal electronic devices on easyJet flights from Hurghada in Egypt remain in place. This means that passengers flying from Egypt are not permitted to take large personal electronics, such as kindles, tablets and laptops into the cabin of aircraft and additional security checks will be undertaken. On these flights we advise passengers to go to Bag Drop to check in any electronic items into their hold luggage.
The safety and security of our passengers and crew is our highest priority.
For further information we recommend passengers log onto to the Department for Transport page at GOV.uk

Looks like there is confusion as this was published yesterday by the Independent and says Thomas Cook now ok http://www.independent.co.uk/travel/news-and-advice/thomas-cook-airlines-lifts-laptop-ban-turkey-flights-uk-devices-terrorism-a7884046.html

We received an email from easyjet to say ban had been lifted but we return via Monarch at end of september. Need to confirm this with them or I' ll end up with 2 ipads out there.

Sounds like it will be easier to get on a plane in Turkey than in Shengen-area Europe.
