Britain to implement the same Electronic Ban on Flights as U.S.A.

A right pain in the proverbials for those of us who travel with hand baggage only!

Didn't think of that. Bugger! Won't affect us in that way but I understand your pain!

[Jacqui Harvey]

I could never travel with just hand luggage.  I have thought of it, but no way could I manage.  We have 40 kilos between us that is 10 for Phil and 30 for me and we have a Villa in Calis.

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).

Jacqui you must be flying from a different Glasgow airport and to different Dalaman airport than us.

The Telegraph are just flagging up Istanbul Airport in their map, so, perhaps the other Turkish Airports will not be affected.?

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....

I discovered a new iphone when I bought a x1.5 pair of reading glasses at Home Bargains. I didn't think I had any eyesight problems till I tried a pair when my eyes were tired and the writing looked a bit blurry. I made it into an Ipad mini sort of  

Forget iPads, iphones with Home Bargains £1.50 glasses are the way forward on Turkey flights
