The iPad Air uses a nano-SIM, so that's what I ordered (and received) through EG.

When I ordered the SIM, I specified the 1GB data plan on the EG website since I didn't need any of the credit for voice.

Thanks. I ended up using SwiftUnlocks.com to unlock my iPhone 6 and ordered an EG nano-SIM with 1G of data. I didn't order it in time to pick it up at the airport upon arrival, but it was ready the next morning at the Doota Money Exchange location, which was only about a 10-minute walk from our hotel. Popped it in and it worked great from the start--didn't even have to do anything!

Good to know that the SIMs will apparently work the same in a tablet. I've had issues with phone-only vs. tablet-only plans before in a couple of other countries.
