A few days ago, the US Government announced that all airline passengers with personal electronics would be required to turn their gadgets on
in order to demonstrate that they work.
Now, the Department for
Transport has announced that those same regulations will also be applied
to flights in and out of the UK. According to The Telegraph,
you're more likely to be asked to turn on your smartphone on flights to
the Middle East and Asia than others, but all travelers are advised to
make sure their gadgets are fully charged before arriving at the
airport.
On the upside, if your device has suddenly lost its charge,
you'll be able to leave your hardware with British Airways staff for
safe keeping until you return.
