Can you bring laptops aboard commercial airplane flights with the latest rules?

Question

I am flying AA from los angeles to florida.

Answer 1

Yes. American flights allow laptops, just as long as you keep them off during take off and landing. They may ask you to turn it on at security.
Even with the recall of laptop batteries, airlines and the FAA have no intention of banning laptops on flights.

Answer 2

Yes, but call your airline just before you leave to go to the airport for the very latest rules.

Answer 3

heck yeah. you can bring laptops, ipods, and the works. Just make sure your wireless connectivity is disconnected. I flew out of LA to Washington DC and then to Conneticut. I had my Ipod and Laptop, and cellphone. I was fine, they don't ask you anything but they remind you to turn of wireless connectivity. In fact, United provides outlets to plug your aplliances in, but its only every other seat (i cant remember if its even or odd).
.
Oh yeah, I walked through security each time. No problems. Just be careful when going to the UK

Answer 4

No, must be inside your luggage that you don't carry on. The FAA said no electronic devices whatsoever allowed as a carry on item.

Answer 5

Just don't bring a Dell laptop--it might catch fire w/ the defective batteries

Answer 6

Thankfully, yes. Most of the new regulations pertain to liquid and food. No water, lotion, Pepsi, or anything liquid. Food as well.

Answer 7

Check your specific airport and airline, but I believe the new rules prohibit electronic devices of any type.

Answer 8

Psh no... security is so tight soon you'll have to be strip-searched and examined up that area if you want to go on any flight at all...

Answer 9

I think you could. But if it's a Dell they might check you battery.

Answer 10

I dont know but Im sure there are websites where you can find out.
