iPod on international flight?
Hey all! I haven't flown in over 10 years and a friend an I are leaving tomorrow afternoon for Greece. We're flying from San Antonio to Switzerland, to Greece. I've seen some websites saying that iPods are banned from planes in Europe. I haven't been able to find a clear answer on this. Will I be able to take my iPod on the plane to and from Greece?

i think yes. why not.
2 :
laptops and portable gaming devices ARE alowed along with other portable music devices. I do not see how an Ipod would be an exception. just make sure that you can charge it. you can buy a USB wall charger for European outlets all over the internet or just in Europe itself.

Yes you should be able to bring it. It doesnt send out signals or receive them, so it's under the same regulations as say a gameboy or PSP or even a laptop. You will have to turn everything off during takeoff and while landing, and they'll let you know when you can switch things on and/or off.

Yes, you can take your iPod with you onboard with your hand luggage. It's still liquids (toothpaste, deoderant, shampoo, etc.) that are being strictly limited onboard. I checked Frankfurt airports website (one of the largest airports in Europe) out for baggage information and there are no restrictions for iPods, Blackberries, etc. Here's their website: http://www.airportcity-frankfurt.com/cms/default/rubrik/9/9828.baggage_control.htm Cheers, Petra M, Vancouver
