Re: Recent flight bans
This looks like my travel camera equipment will have to be carried around my neck which would mean my 760d plus lens attached (55-250mm) and two extra lenses in my pockets- the 24mm and 10-18mm lens. I cannot take my preferred 70-300mm L lens nor the 17-40mmL lens.Canon 6D; Canon 760D;Canon G15;Canon 40mm f2.8(Pancake);Canon 50mm f1.8(ii); Canon 17mm-40mm f4L;Canon EF-S 10-18mm f4.5-5.6 IS STM;Canon EF-S 55-250mm f4-5.6 STM lens;Canon 24mm-105mmf4L IS;Canon 70-300mm f4-f5.6 L IS USM;Kenko 1.4x HD TC;Canon 430EX ii flash;Giottos tripod;Manfretto monopod;Cokin P filters + bits and pieces!

Re: Recent flight bans
Thanks for all your comments. I thought cameras were also included as electronic devices. However, there appears to be a restriction on spare batteries for instance!Canon 6D; Canon 760D;Canon G15;Canon 40mm f2.8(Pancake);Canon 50mm f1.8(ii); Canon 17mm-40mm f4L;Canon EF-S 10-18mm f4.5-5.6 IS STM;Canon EF-S 55-250mm f4-5.6 STM lens;Canon 24mm-105mmf4L IS;Canon 70-300mm f4-f5.6 L IS USM;Kenko 1.4x HD TC;Canon 430EX ii flash;Giottos tripod;Manfretto monopod;Cokin P filters + bits and pieces!

Re: Recent flight bans
Hi Nathaniel, always a problem when you want and need to go somewhere. For me I will stick to cruises or the car in the UK as I will not be putting my cameras in the unsupervised hold of a plane anytime soon.

Re: Recent flight bans
Nat, the restriction on spare batteries has applied for a long time, nothing new.
Everyone - I now understand that the restriction on 'electronic devices' only applies to flights from just 5 countries. None of them are ones I would chose to visit anyway, but I accept that some may need to visit for business purposes as opposed to leisure.
My fear is that if these restrictions become established they will be extended 'by stealth' to many other countries.

Re: Recent flight bans
Originally posted by Nathaniel View PostI have not been too well last year but since my health has been restored somewhat I am hoping to fly esp to Canada to see my ailing elder brother and family before it is too late. I have to think about my camera equipment very carefully esp as I don't want to be told,when I am about to board the plane, that I cannot take my photographic equipment into the cabin!!!!!!! Most times,like Chris, I have holidayed in UK and enjoyed every minute and every day.
Mind you, I expect to be off to Abu Dhabi soon, probably on Etihad, and they are on the US list but not the UK one! Emirates (not Etihad) are the only people who have ever done any serious damage to my luggage int he hold - a case slashed open! Fingers crossed the rules for Abu Dhabi don't change in the next few months...Last edited by rcarca; 28-03-2017, 09:47.Richard Anderson Photography at www.raphoto.me
