Theresa May has introduced a UK flight ban for laptops, which will be introduced 'in the coming days'. It will see a ban on devices which are larger than a typical smartphone measuring 16cm by 9.3cm by 1.5cm, and they will now have to go in the hold with other luggage. This ban is only coming into use for inbound flights from Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt, Tunisia and Saudi Arabia. If you want to use devices bigger than smartphones at your destination, you will be forced to pay extra fees for a checked bag.
