The UK has instituted a parallel measure for certain flights to the UK.

See https://www.gov.uk/government/speech...ling-to-the-uk

Published a specific size. The UK says items (including phones) larger than 16.0cm x 9.3cm x 1.5cm are prohibited.

+ Narrowed the affected airports and countries. The UK ban covers Turkey, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Jordan. It also adds two countries--Lebanon, Tunisia--not covered in the US ban. But the UK clearly exempts the United Arab Emirates and Qatar, which means it does not cover Emirates, Etihad and Qatar Airways.

+ Covers UK airlines (British Airways, EasyJet, Jet2.com, Monarch, Thomas Cook, Thomson) as well as foreign carriers serving the United Kingdom.
