BENALLA TRAVEL would like to advise clients of important changes to airport security rules for electronic devices in carry-on baggage from 1 July 2014. The new aviation security measures announced this month for electronic devices such as phones and tablets particularly relate to flights to, from and via the United States and United Kingdom, including stopovers through Europe, Africa and the Middle East. <\/strong><\/p>\n

We urge all travellers to pay particular attention to the new security measures as they are put in place to ensure passenger safety and travellers will need to be patient as these are recent changes to airport security and may cause delays as a result. The key changes specify that items powered by lithium batteries \u2013 such as those found in mobile phones, tablets and laptops \u2013 have to be carried in hand luggage, not checked baggage and that all devices must be able to be TURNED ON at security, or risk having the device confiscated or the passenger denied boarding. If you cannot prove your device functions as normal, there is a strong chance you will not be allowed to fly, or you may have your item confiscated and\/or you asked to undergo additional screening. Keep your chargers and power adaptors on hand to avoid having an electronic device go flat, While most airports have power outlets to charge your devices, they can be limited so don\u2019t rely on the ability to charge your device at the airport.<\/p>\n

Baggage
\n<\/strong>
\nExternal tags with name & address.
\nInternal labels with name & address.
\nDetails of dimensions, brand, value and size in case of lost baggage.
\nIn case of lost baggage with the airline, complete a lost baggage report and retain copy for insurance and your own follow up.<\/p>\n
