What are we allowed to take in hand luggage?

[loveleejublee]

Are we allowed to take electrical items, e.g. hair straighteners, things with plugs etc in our hand luggage? I read the thread about being able to unlock your suitcase with a pen and am now paranoid!!!

Thanks!

Thanks for that, just saw on GMTV this morning they were going through what you can and can't take on the plane and they now have a section on their website so if anyone still isn't sure take a look there!

Thanks for the replies x
