DJs who plan on returning to the US and UK from some Middle Eastern and North African countries might have to change their travel plans.
Effective Tuesday, US and UK-bound airline passengers are prohibited from carrying personal electronic devices larger than a smartphone in the cabin. The order doesn’t have an end date.
The ban comes after intelligence showed that the Islamic State is developing a bomb that can be hidden in portable electronics.
Passengers will have to put their laptops, tablets, portable DVD players, cameras, and other large devices into their checked baggage. It’s a major inconvenience, especially for DJs, who prefer to work on mixes, tracks, and other projects during flights.
For US passengers, the impacted airports are:
– Abu Dabi International, United Arab Emirates
– Dubai International, United Arab Emirates
– Cairo International, Egypt
– Queen Alia International, Amman, Jordan
– Kuwait International
– Mohammed V International, Casablanca, Morocco
– Hamad International, Doha, Qatar
– King Abdulaziz International, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia
– King Khalid International, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
– Ataturk Airport, Istanbul, Turkey
For US passengers, the impacted airlines are:
– EgyptAir
– Emirates
– Ethiad Airways
– Kuwait Airways
– Qatar Airways
– Royal Air Maroc
– Royal Jordanian
– Saudia
– Turkish Airlines
For UK passengers, all flights from the following countries are affected:
