Travel with iPad on International Flight
I will be flying on United from US to London LHR and on Scandinavian Airlines from London LHR to Stockholm ARN. Does anyone know what the latest rules for carrying iPad inside the cabin into and out of London LHR and Stockholm ARN??
Thanks!
Thanks!

The main problem I see is -- with the current heightened security situation, the rule could change at any time. Remember when one day you could take any sort of liquids on board . . and the next day you couldn't.
I am worried about two future trips I have (to Peru and to the UK) - my iPad mini is my primary mode of communication and info when traveling and I fly with carry on only. Transatlantic by ship and intra-Europe by train is looking better and better . . .

Asking here is good, and you have gotten good replies, but yes, the rules could change at any time, so you might just have to check your iPad on your return.
(I generally don't fret too much about theft out of checked luggage, fwiw.)

Just flew from US to Stockholm and had no problem with iPad or iPhone.
However, in Heathrow, the security person took out ALL my NON LIQUID makeup and placed it in a small clear plastic bag! I asked why. And she said that if it goes on your face, it can turn into liquid!!! I just smiled and said, thank you.

I departed London/Heathrow for the US yesterday. No issue for electronic devices allowed on board/in the cabin. However, I left iPad and iPod in bag and ended up having the bag emptied by their agents before my eyes after waiting 15-20 minutes while they slowly went through the person's bag ahead of me. No one tells you this requirement and I saw no signs. I did automatically took out my laptop. Going through that was NOT FUN!, but not a big issue. My mistake, I should have done more research to get the current requirements. I think the key is just to have electronic devices visible in the tray.
