Rules Concerning Electronics Onboard US-Bound Direct Flights - Smartphone Beside Watch and Camera

I am going to be traveling from Milan (MXP) to New York (JFK) in the summer. However, my flight is with Emirates, and Milan is actually a stopover with the plane originating from Dubai. Am I allowed to pack my electronics in my carry-on bags? I'm not sure if this rule applies to me since I'm not boarding from one of the affected countries. However, since this is a direct flight originating from one of the countries in the electronics ban, does this rule apply regardless?

Best Answer

The American electronics ban should not apply to your journey.

From here:

The ban applies if…

– You’re flying to the US from Istanbul, Turkey; Dubai and Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates; Doha, Qatar; Amman, Jordan; Cairo, Egypt; Casablanca, Morocco; Jeddah and Riyadh in Saudi Arabia; Kuwait City, Kuwait

– You’re flying non-stop to the U.S. on one of these nine airlines: EgyptAir; Emirates; Etihad Airways; Kuwait Airways; Qatar Airways; Royal Air Maroc; Royal Jordanian; Saudia (Saudi Arabian Airlines); Turkish Airlines.

But, that doesn't define how Emirates deals with this. To be sure, you should contact your airline.

Can I bring any electronics on carry-on?

Most consumer personal electronic devices containing batteries are allowed in carry-on and checked baggage, including but not limited to cell phones, smart phones, data loggers, PDAs , electronic games, tablets, laptop computers, cameras, camcorders, watches, calculators, etc.

Can you bring 2 electronics on a plane?

So on domestic flights, you can have two, three, or even more laptops, and no one will bat an eye. One might think that they'd limit the number of laptops that can be brought on the plane because they contain lithium batteries. However, the TSA and FAA only limit additional spare batteries and power banks.

Can you take a circuit board on a plane?

Just pack it in your checked baggage.
