Flights to the US

[khaosworks]

Are flights to the US and UK still under those new carry-on restrictions, i.e. I can't bring my laptop or my guitar along, and if so any sign of those being lifted anytime soon?

I carried a guitar 4, maybe 5 times on flights since the new restrictions went into effect. In the US, the only new restriction is on anything liquid or gel being in your carryon. So- no toothpaste, no gel-based deoderant, no shampoo, etc.

I carried guitar right through from Chicago to Dublin to Hamburg last week. Granted, Dublin isn't UK; but it's pretty bloody close... :) So, guitar is generally ok on the US side; UK might give you some headaches...

In Europe, the restrictions are specific to the UK with especially tight restrictions between the UK and USA.

There are hints that the situation over musical instruments might be reviewed - but this could be only for professional musicians?

So you're allowed to play music, but you have to stink while doing so?
