Given the laptop/tablet ban from several airports in a few countries, and the fact that
the US is considering extending the ban to flights out of the UK to the US, it might be good to collect experience on how BA handles the ban.
A few points of interest I can think of are:
- The big 3 ME airlines have procedures in place to allow passenger to keep their device until boarding and to recover them at the end of the flight.
Does BA do that anywhere?
- If you have to check your laptop in your bag, have there been any reports of theft?
- In case of theft, what are the recourses?
- If one has a connecting flight out of LHR that does not ban laptops, is there an easy way to recover the laptop before the connecting flight?
- Are there different handling approaches for different airport of origin?
If you have personal experience, be it out of IST, CAI, AMM or any other airport, please report it here.
