In response to the US ban on electronic devices inside passenger cabins of planes from the Middle East, Qatar Airways and Etihad Airways have announced services which will offer their clients free laptops and tablets on US-bound flights.

Blimey, this could start a revolution, people may actually have to have real live conversations to fill the void    ;)
Our Wi-Fi wasn't working last night so I sat & chatted to the Mrs for a change.

I'm surprised to hear she no longer works at Woolworths.

Flew in and out of Dalaman to Manchester last week. Received notification before hand regarding ipads etc and notice on desk at check in.
Definitely none on the plane, both directions. Did not see anyone who arrived with one in there hand luggage, so can only assume you have to check it in as hold luggage at airport.

Are you saying that you could not have the items in the cabin from Manchester or am I misunderstanding your post?

Correct, i pad / kindle were not allowed as hand luggage and we put them through in case we had as hold luggage booked.
Not sure how they can control this as when you pass through security they do not know where you are going. Unless they start asking where you are travelling too.
The flight was full going out and no one on the plane was using one, so it seems they all heeded the warning. Even the stewardess corrected herself during an announcement regarding electronic devices "Sorry, you are not allowed them on the plane now". It is not the best idea if you are only travelling with hand luggage. There was no mention in the warning what happens if you turn up with a i pad etc at check in.

Surely there is no change in the rules for flights TO Turkey, just FROM?

The notice was placed on the check in desk in both directions.
