Phones, laptops and tablets larger than 16.0cm x 9.3cm x 1.5cm not allowed in the cabin on flights to the UK from Turkey, Lebanon, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Tunisia.

KTG understands that the UK ban will affect also the British Airways.

The UK restrictions, which also apply to tablets, DVD players, portable game consoles and phones over certain size, come after a similar US Department of Homeland Security ban.
