New rules on electronic devices

[makemwonder]

Don't know if anyone has already posted this but my hubby has just returned from Calis last night and managed to obtain a leaflet from the jet2 flight, also to let you know if anyone over there is thinking of buying one of the battery packs for keeping your phone charge at all times DONT as they are not allowed anywhere on the plane not even in the hold. a man on my hubby's transfer bus had his confiscated at the airport and dropped into the bin, he was quite livid as he had chosen a more expensive one.

Thanks MW

When do they give the leaflet? If you have a portable charger the leaflet is almost always too late - if you have one, you are going to lose it

UK Gov advice is that: "Existing safety regulations mean that spare batteries and portable power sources can no longer be carried on board aircraft operating on affected routes [i.e. including Turkey] in either cabin or hold baggage." I don't know if this means a portable charger (I don't have one) but it sounds like it.

PERMITTED
According to the info on the leaflet battery packs / power banks are still  allowed in cabin luggage provided they are Less than 16cm x 9.3cm x 1.5cm Including their associated leads and cables.


NOT PERMITTED
Rechargeable battery packs (Power Banks) greater than 16cm x 9.3cm x 1.5cm are NOT permitted in either cabin or hold luggage.

Yes that is exactly how it reads KKOB

Having dutifully packed Ipad and Samsung tablet into the hold baggage and not been asked to operate either of these, the security people didn't care for the mains lead from my laptop in my cabin bag so that too went into the hold. Be advised that that the final security search immediately prior to boarding is very thorough and time consuming.

The lealet is only shown to passengers on the outgoing journey you dont actually  get to keep them this one just happened to stick to my hubby's fingers , there is more info on the back of the leaflet but I cant get it to upload on here as it says its too big , but if there is any way it can be done I will be happy to try again, It does say on the leaflet that all equipment chargers must also be in your hold luggage.

Had my small battery pack taken off of me ( on a uk flight from Bangkok, so not on the list )

Gov advice printed below - please not it is NOT link to size, some flights now link to power output 

will not be allowed on board the aircraft in either cabin or hold baggage:
•spare or separate device batteries
•portable power sources

Existing safety regulations mean that spare batteries and portable power sources can no longer be carried on board aircraft operating on affected routes in either cabin or hold baggage.

no more battery packs for me. it had to come

I'm going out to Calis in early July and the more information I see on the forum regarding electronic devices, the more confused I become.....perhaps that's because I'm thick!
I intend to take a Galaxy mobile phone and a Kindle reader, both able to be charged at different times from the same 3pin plug and 2pin adaptor with a USB lead connected to whichever device needs charging from the mains.
I think I'm OK to carry my mobile phone in my hand luggage on the return journey, but will I be allowed to store the Kindle with the 3pin plug, the 2pin adapter and the USB lead in my hold luggage?
My travelling companions are asking me the same questions so I promised to ask the seasoned and sensible, informed forum members for their advice.
Thank you in anticipation.

Why don't you ask the airline ?
