electricals in hand luggage HELP?

[cassia]

Hi guys we fly early hours thursday morning so just packing my hand luggage now...

I read somewhere you cant put electricals in your hand luggage anymore just wondering if this was true

We fly with thompson so only have 15KG

Thanks cass

We flew with Thomson 2 weeks ago and I had my hair straighteners and dryer in my hand luggage. No problems or questions asked.
Have a good holiday

I always put hairdryer and straighteners in my hand luggage and have never had a problem whoever I've flown with

When I went in June I put all my electrical stuff and chargers in my hand luggage to try and save on weight in my suitcase. All was well until I went through security!! My husband saw the bag go through the scanner and he said it just showed up a mass of wires.

The bag was pulled and I had to completely empty it. Every item - hair dryer, straighteners, shavers, iron, kettle - absolutely everything and every charger was checked. The actual bag was scanned again - it was all very time consuming and VERY embarrassing. If you can - put it in your suitcase!

Aw poor you Patsiej!
Must say though I'll risk the embarrassment of that if it means I can fit extra shoes in my suitcase
