Airline Gadget Rules: What You Need To Know

Passengers have been warned they may not be able to take their electronic devices onto any plane to or from the UK unless the device can be switched on.

:: The Department for Transport (DfT) says the rules apply to any flights into or out of the UK, although not every flight will be affected.

:: The rules apply to all portable electronic devices, including cameras, tablets, ebook readers, laptops, MP3 players and phones.

:: The DfT says that in the event a passenger arrives at an airport gate with a device that does not switch on, it will be at the discretion of the airline what happens next.

All phones must have some charge before they will be allowed on flights

:: British Airways and Virgin are the only airlines which have told Sky News they have a contingency plan if passengers try to bring an uncharged device on board.

:: A BA spokesman told Sky News its contingencies are as follows:

- If a non-charged device is found, the device can be charged at the gate. The airline has, or will have, a range of chargers available.

- If the passenger does not have an appropriate charger, the airline will courier (at its expense) the device to a destination of the passenger's choice.

- Or, if a passenger needs the device with them on the flight, the airline will transfer the passenger onto a later flight (again at its expense) to give the passenger time to find or buy a charger.

:: Virgin Atlantic, however, said it will charge a passenger a courier fee in the event a device has to be sent on. If a passenger wants to change flight to enable a charger to be located, the change will be allowed free of charge.

:: Other airlines contacted by Sky News have yet to issue a response.

:: Sky News reporter Harriet Hadfield said: "The advice is to travel to the airport with some charge in your device if you want to take the device on the plane with you. Otherwise, check with your airline to see what contingency plans they are offering."
