rabrown,

I've just done a quick search on the CAA's website, there's nothing to suggest a change in regulations regarding laptops. In terms of the impact this may have on business travellers, I can't imagine there will be a ban on the use of laptops inflight. I can't see any reason for banning them, providing users are made aware of the current regulations. Have you got the link to the website where you read it?

Thanks,

Darren

The last flight I went on had Wireless Internet provided with the intention that you could use your own laptop during the flight...would seem strange if the airlines are investing in this technology if a ban were imminent.

I have had a few PM enquiries recently about this imminent ban on laptops, but I haven't been able to find any confirmation or recent comment about it.

When asking members to confirm the source of this information, it seems that most people have simply performed a Google search of "laptops on planes" which produces THIS article as number one result. But what they failed to notice was that the article is dated 2002 and now 4 years on, the ban still hasn't happened.

Perhaps rabrown's source is totally unconnected with that article and if so, then please do post a link to the relevant webpage as Darren suggests, and it may allow us to look into it further.
