Title: Britain to implement the same Electronic Ban on Flights as U.S.A.
Post by: Jacqui Harvey on March 21, 2017, 14:49:44 PM
A newsflash on Sky News that Britain is implementing the same flight rules as the U.S.A  regarding electronic equipment, which is,  stopping people from 10 countries flying from the U.K. from taking electronic equipment bigger than a mobile phone.  Istanbul Airport has been included.  No other Turkish Airports were mentioned.  However, anyone using a flight to Istanbul and then onto Dalaman will be affected by this move.

It applies to electronic instruments larger than mobile phones in carry-on luggage in the aircraft cabin. If it's in checked-in baggage it's OK.

Yes, but the whole point is, people take electronic equipment with them, like Ipads and Kindles so they can use them on the flight.  No point in having them and leaving them in your suitcase.   I usually take both and watch a film and or read a book.

Would you risk your laptop or ipad in the hold? I don't think I would.

I can only assume they have intel that someone is preparing to add explosives to a laptop or ipad after they have  passed through security otherwise it's pointless letting them put them in the hold.

They've obviously never tried to open a mini ipad!

Also how big a mobile can you take? Some are pretty huge these days and won't be much smaller than an ipad mini.

So it looks like we are OK flying to and from Dalaman at the moment but if it's extended then I guess it's time to buy some shares in a paperback publisher and buy a couple of cheap tablets to leave in Turkey.

That is unfortunately how we understand it, flights from Turkey, which would include all airports in Turkey.  Would be nice to get confirmation of it though.   Won't be happy if we can't take our tablet with us and certainly would not be putting it in our luggage.

I've asked Monarch via twitter to confirm Dalaman as soon as they can find out. Not looking good though. I have a £49 tablet which I will risk I think. Might have to buy one for the Mrs as well now.

BBC report says flights from Turkey - so that means no problem on flights to Turkey from UK? Would mean they'd have to go in the hold on the way back of course.

One problem is that expensive electronics (e.g. laptops, iPads etc) are often not covered by travel policies if put in the hold.

Bit of a nuisance for me but hey ho, the UK must have solid intel else why come up with the ban.  As regards the US ban, I haven't seen a cheep from any of the organisations/states that fought the travel ban so must assume the same for them.

We're the opposite, Jacqui!

Couldn't imagine travelling with cases. Roll up to the airport, no queuing at the check in desks, then out the other end, straight past the baggage carousels, out the airport and away.

Mind you, we do have the strangest hand baggage going out - it's primarily empty, sealable plastic containers...

...mind you, coming back, they're not empty but full of fresh produce from the Sunday market!

Just hope that the goverment don't decide that sivri biber are a risk and that they have to go in the hold too - if they do, I'm selling up!!

I don't mind waiting at the check in going out, in fact, it a breeze from Glasgow, no queues. as for the other end in Turkey, we have to queue to get out and the luggage on the carousel is always very quick.  No problem.   I need my clothes and my shoes.  Often, we bring something over for the house.  Last time a four slice toaster (in Phil's case).

No, Glasgow was really good, walked down to a hall at end of the airport, straight in and up to the counter, no queues.  Done this twice in the last couple of years.  Dalaman, by the time you get though Customs/Security and go down the escalator the suitcases are usually starting to arrive.  No problems for us.  Anyway John, the staff at the Airport know who I am....  ;) ;D :o 8)

How will this be policed? Will the countries involved be vetting only UK/US travellers' hand luggage? I don't think I've ever revealed my nationality at Security, only at passport control. We only fly with hand luggage so it's going to be a pain and as I need to travel with my laptop for work I'll have to risk it in the hold. Add the hassle of the new rental rules and tourism for Turkey must be pretty much over!

I suspect it'll be policed at the airside security check, with them asking to see your boarding card.

However anyone determined enough to get a laptop on board will find it extremely easy at any airport which doesn't have a secondary security check at the gate.

They will probably just ask you where you are flying to if you have any banned items. You could lie but I guess that's a big risk as they could just ask to see your boarding card.

Not difficult to police if they want to.

Yes John it was airside on both occasions actually at the gate,needless to say although security wise understandable, after waiting/queuing and then finding that being almost the last on the plane, cabin locker was YOK!! At Antalya after spending 30mins at the gate everyone was moved out of waiting area to enable a further security cordon to be  erected ,only then to be waived through without us being checked. Although there was some stopped.

Copied this comment I saw on Facebook which might be of use to some of you.  Will be interesting to see if other airlines follow suit...........
''Good for Turkish airlines who have found a way round the electronics ban. Quote from Sky news:- ''People who are not comfortable seeing their electronic devices checked in their luggage will be able to use them in the lounge and then hand their devices to Turkish Airlines officials at the boarding gate.
The officials will tag the devices and put them in a special secure cargo area.
The special cargo containing the devices will be handled at the arrival destination by authorised airline personnel and distributed at the luggage reclaim area to owners providing their tags.''

I see a lot of problems with this move.  There could be 100 ipads or computers.  Will they be wrapped and packed in the hold? Or will they all be packed together in one big container with no protection? Also will everyone get their electronic item back back in good condition or perhaps not get their item back at all.   If this happens, will the item be covered by insurance?
I saw the recent youtube video on F.B and watched the baggage handlers throwing suitcases around. I wonder would said baggage handlers be careful with a container of electronic equipment?   :(  ;)

I usually travel with hand luggage only but always book the extra legroom seats on EasyJet so that I can take my laptop on board as a separate item. I use the laptop for checking my emails and watching TV and films. 

Does the electronic ban include things like an Amazon Firestick? If not I'll be able to watch TV and films via the Firestick and use my iphone for emails.

This is from the Turkish  Airlines Website

nformation Regarding the On-board Use of Electronic Devices on our U.S. and U.K. bound flights:
Turkish Airlines introduces its new offerings to make their U.S. and U.K. bound passengers’ journeys more comfortable during the implementation process of the electronics ban that declared by the concerned authorities.
Our passengers will continue to use the on board internet with their mobile phones.
Laptops, tablets and other electronic devices may be used until the boarding gate where they will be handed over.
Our transfer passengers will have to deliver their respective devices at the boarding gate on their arrival in Istanbul.
If passenger prefers not to place his/her electronical devices to the checked baggage during the check-in, according to the amendments, these devices will be handed over to be tagged at the boarding gate for a safe and secure transportation, and will be handed back to the passengers upon arrival at the destination. At this destination there will be Turkish Airlines’ authorized staff who will collect the luggages that contain electronic devices. These staff will take them all to the designated place in baggage reclaim area, and all devices will be delivered to owners by these staff by matching the given luggage tags with the record list they have.
Why do we do that?
As per the directive issued by the relevant authorities in their respective countries, which will be effective as from 25th of March 2017, passengers of U.S. and U.K. bound flights from/through Istanbul Ataturk Airport are not permitted to carry electronic devices, with the exception of medical devices, larger than a cell phone or smart phone on board.
All laptops, tablets, cameras*, e-readers and gaming devices must be placed in checked-in baggage at the start of any U.S.-bound or U.K.-bound journey. Turkish Airlines offers a special service from Istanbul Atatürk Airport that gives its passengers a safe and secure method of carrying their electronics in a special area in the cargo hold of the aircraft.
Transit passengers may hand over their electronic devices at the boarding gate.
The ban does not affect flights leaving from the U.S. or U.K. for Turkey and beyond.
* Bringing aboard cameras is not restricted for U.K. bound flights.

Haven't seen much coverage from other countries affected, but THY certainly appear on the ball:

“The electronic devices will be received by an airline officer during the last check-in before boarding the aircraft and will be placed in a special shatterproof luggage after being wrapped in foam covers," Turkish Airlines CEO Bilal Ekşi told the agency on March 24.

"We guarantee that passengers’ devices will not be damaged or lost," he added.


On the basis that I only use THY to Istanbul, and that I only tend to work on the outbound leg, I have no issue with handing over my trusted old Thinkpad to the staff at Ataturk for safekeeping.  Only minor inconvenience is that I'll have to shift sensitive data such as stored passwords onto a memory stick and delete them from the machine.  No biggie under the circumstances.

I think they are following the Emirate lead. They came out pretty much straight away and offered a similar service.

I think my iPad will stay at home and my 7" tablet will holiday with me (I bought it for Kodi so it's handy in Turkey anyway.)

Only downside is the battery life is nowhere near as good and it's far less user friendly too.

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.

There was a notice on the desk at check in, both at Manchester and Dalaman regarding the size of electrical items that can be carried as hand luggage.
This was basically the first week that the ban was introduced so may have changed. Maybe a traveler this week can comment on their experience.

I think the signs might be relating to return journies as this is the latest update from Manchester:

Security Update
If you’re flying to the USA please ensure electrical devices are charged and capable of being switched on. Any passengers with specific queries about their individual flight should check with their airline for more detailed information.

At Manchester Airport, we make the safety and security of customers and staff our absolute priority. To make your journey as smooth as possible and avoid unnecessary delays, we ask that you pay special attention to our 4 step security procedure.

Electronics Ban – Inbound Flights

In line with the Government announcement regarding all UK airports, electronic items larger than 16 x 9.3 x 1.5 cm will not be allowed into the cabin of flights coming into Manchester Airport from:

Turkey
Egypt
Saudi Arabia
These items must go into the hold and passengers are advised to liaise with their airline on how to facilitate this.

This will only affect passengers flying into Manchester from these countries, and not any departing from here. It will however affect passengers’ return journey, when they come back into Manchester Airport.

For more information, please visit https://www.gov.uk/hand-luggage-restrictions/electronic-devices-and-electrical-items

We travelled back from Manchester last Saturday . Any electrical item had to be switched on to go through security. Tablets and laptops were allowed in hand luggage as normal.
Traveling out from Dalaman the week before , electrical items had to be in hold luggage. (Other than small mobiles)

Returned to UK ( Thursday ) following a 1 week visit to Turkey...

Flying out STN / DLM

Ipads scanned seperately and then returned to hand luggage, as normal.

Flying back DLM / STN

Presented IPads to security on arrival at Dalaman..they asked us to switch them on...placed through the scanner and they then watched whilst we put them in our Hold luggage.
Dropped cases off at checking desk and walked through security as normal.

No security checks  /customs at Stansted only passport control!

Received today from TC latest travel updates for Turkey.
" The new measures mean that laptops, tablets, e -readers,-16.0cm in length, 9.3cm and 1.5cm deep-will not be allowed in hand luggage and must be placed in the hold. This includes duty free purchases of these devices in the airport. The measure also applies to keyboards, power cable transformers, spare or separate device batteries ,portable power sources, or external hard drives that are above the size restrictions. Please be aware that spare or separate device batteries for use with phone, laptop or battery are also listed as dangerous goods and cannot be placed in the hold"
There will be no restrictions on mobile phones etc as before subject to size.
Then a further paragraph, "Spare  or separate device batteries and portable power sources cannot be carried in either the hold or hand baggage and will be confiscated. If you are unsure whether you can carry any other device, please ask our staff at check in"   
The advice refers to TC customers flying TO UK from Turk still no mention of FROM UK.
Maybe it's just me but the info I find confusing. ???

Pardon me if this is a stupid question but surely it would be sensible to put your ipads, etc into your hold luggage when you pack it? You can then make sure it's as secure as possible.

Also, as you cannot get it past security, what's the point in having it in your hand luggage at the first check point? Or do they insist you show them before packing them in the hold luggage?

We were told that security wanted to " examine them " before we placed them in our hold luggage Stoop.
( Which they did at first scanner )

This also gave us the option of using them before we bag dropped some 2 hours later.

I read my books on my iPad mini and also my newspapers. Much better than the phone.

I take my kindle to read on the beach so I suppose, at a push, I can just take the kindle and my iPhone 6. I won't be risking my IPad in the hold.

Just bought an Amozon Firestick for the to Jacqui. £52 on eBay with Kodi and Mobdro installed. Can get all tV with that home and abroad.

We still get home before the Postcards.   I also think it is nice to be able to check on the family at home, when on holiday.
When I was a child and  went abroad with my Mum and Dad we had no way of getting in touch with my Nan, she did not have a phone and my Mum was always so glad to get home and see her Mother was O.K.
So, technology is not so bad and anyone who says it is, I would ask them... Don't you use it??

Blimey Jacqui, you must have been rich when you were a child!   ;)  I'm assuming that you are about the same age as me but we could never even dream of going abroad when I was little.  My (very happy) memories of holidays then were of Southport, Prestatyn and graduating all the way to Great Yarmouth  ;D

As for technology, my earlier comment was a bit tongue in cheek.  Having eldest daughter, son-in-law and two grandsons living a 45 minute drive away and the youngest daughter, son-in-law, two year old grandson and another due any day now, living 12,000 miles away in New Zealand you won't find me knocking it.

We have group chats on Whats-app nearly every day, they both send me photos and little videos of the boys regularly which, especially for the one in NZ, keeps me going and helps us to see him growing up.  We also Skype often. Obviously we see the ones over here as often as we can but it's nice to be able to get photos of little things that we miss.

On Wednesday we set off for New Zealand to see new grandson. (Stopovers in Kuala Lumpur and Sydney on the way there, so he may have put in an appearance before we get there on the 26th) and we will then keep in touch with the others over here via Whats-app, Skype etc. 

When I think what it was like when my cousin emigrated to Australia nearly 40 years ago, it doesn't compare. 

Thank God for modern technology!    ;) ;D

No, Marina, not rich my Dad was a maintenance engineer in Tate & Lyles and my Mum was a Manager in the Office of a furniture Shop.  We first started going abroad with Swan's Tours where we got the bus to London, the boat train to Dover, after the boat a train through France, stopping at Paris for a few hours, and then another train to the border with Spain at the border we then took a train to Barcelona it took 2 days and was a journey from hell.  Then we stayed in an Hotel for 10 days.  That was lovely, but had to face the journey back again.
After this my Father got a car and we started to travel to the continent in his car for holidays. Traveling all around places, like France, Holland, Belgium, Switzerland, Spain.  We never ever took a plane and we camped everywhere in quite a big tent, latterly they got a campervan, which was much more comfortable.    :)

Further to Stoops post about the firestick - take a look at this facebook page "Is YOUR TV on Fire? TV streaming at its best".
The firestick that you can buy from these guys (Julie & Julian) comes fully loaded and gets automatically updated every two weeks so you don't have to wait too long for the latest films and episodes. They are always at the end of the phone or txt to sort out any problems. Although they are based in my home town they have over 10,000 customers world wide and I can hand on heart recommend them to anyone who is considering the purchase of a firestick to get around the new restrictions on laptops and tablets.

Hi Steve. I brought my fire stick out here last year but found it very hit and miss regarding watching tv. I've since discovered PULSE which is a add on build for Kodi and is developed by Ares Project. There are many videos and tutorials on line showing you how to put it on your fire stick. I found the best way was to remove Kodi completely from the fire stick and reinstall it following the pulse instructions. The difference is amazing. The pulse build updates everyday and also an updated build comes out every week or two. Watched footie on sky sports 1 HD yesterday with just a slight bit of buffering but not enough to be a pain. Worth having a go at if your technically savvy, or for anybody else.

I'm assuming you mean 8MBs, as in the download speed?

I had a look for someone recently who was thinking of taking one to Turkey, consensus seemed to be that anything over 4/5MBs will be fine.  Last I heard it was working perfectly well with a download speed of between 3MBs and 5MBs - little bit of buffering at the start of a stream but appears to settles down quite quickly.
