does the ban on laptops apply to flights to cyprus?

Question

sunshine_mel · Answer

Depends where the flights are coming from

Redstone · Answer

No. The restriction only applies to U.S. and U.K. bound flights affecting 10 airports from 8 countries in the Middle-East. See link below for further information.

Bear in mind this is less of a "ban" and more of a "restriction" since people traveling from those airports can still bring those devices aboard stowed in checked baggage.

No, not unless you connect in one of the affected airports like Istanbul. Even then it wouldn't affect the flight to Cyprus, but it would on a return to the US or UK.
