I think we can all agree that security at airports has changed in recent years. And not only that but it seems to change every year and at every airport.
It can certainly be frustrating but the more you are aware of the latest requirements, the easier it is to comply - and still stay in that happy holiday frame of mind!
My latest finding was at Manchester airport. Not only was it a case of belts off and liquids out - see the rules on liquids here - but also laptops have to be taken out of the cabin luggage. Not easy when they are packed safe and sound in a rucksack or carry-on!
However, if you do decide to bring a laptop or similar, then you will find that some holiday homes and apartments offer WiFi. Here at the finca in Franceses, we have been offering free WiFi for some time and have seen an increasing number of people wanting or needing to connect to the internet. So if you do think it's worth bringing your laptop - keep it handy in your cabin luggage when coming through security!
If you are not sure what other regulations apply to what you can take on a plane, either in the hold or cabin luggage, you can check here.
I flew from Manchester in November and wasn't asked to remove my laptop from the rucksack - maybe things have been relaxed
