Laptops, Ipads, Phones Ban On Flight From Middle East To Britain And U.S. by Explorers(m): 5:03pm On Mar 25, 2017
A controversial ban on carry-on laptops and tablets on flights from the Middle East to the United States and Britain has gone into into effect.

Passengers were told to stash their electronics on direct flights to the UKfrom Turkey, Egypt, Tunisia, Lebanon, Jordan and Saudi Arabia on Saturday.

They described the ban as a 'hassle' and claimed boarding was a 'massive, slow process' as airport employees were checking all carry-on luggage.

Laptops, iPads, Kindles and game consoles have been outlawed from hand luggage on services into Britain from those six countries amid fears terrorists have perfected a new type of airline bomb.

Passengers checked in their electronic devices on dozens of flights from Dubai to Doha on Saturday.

'It's a hassle and difficult for the airport employees.

It took much longer than usual to board,' said passenger Conor McCormick, flying from Istanbul.

'Boarding the plane from the gate has become a massive, slow process.

All carry-on luggage is checked and laptops are wrapped and stored.

'The amount of airport employees required for this whole process is way more than what would be needed if there was no laptop ban.

'At Dubai International, one of the world's busiest hubs, Emirates dispatched staff to guide passengers through one of the most intense travel weekends of the year.
