Hand Luggage Rules

[Westyfield2]

With all the 'No Sharp Objects' rules etc, what's the rule on shavers?
AFAIK normal razors (that the blades can be removed from) aren't allowed, but what about an electric rotary shaver?

I had a quick google but got conflicting answers , so figured that OcUK is the best place to ask
Don't know if it makes any difference but going from Gatwick to Malta (so fortunately it doesn't involve the lovely TSA ).

it should be fine i would have thought

Will you really need a shave during that short time period?!


Or just planning on taking one piece of luggage in the cabin?

Hold luggage is getting checked in the night before the flight, so want it for the morning of the flight and then put in hand luggage.....

That's what I thought, as I can't think of any way of killing someone with it!

EDIT: Unless I hold someone's beard to ransom ........

Is there anyone you can phone and ask, Gatwick airport?

 

[utajoker]

go 1 day without a shave??

 

[Feek]

I've carried an electric razor as hand luggage but I guess it's all down to the airline.

Phone them and ask.

It'd be a bit dumb to not allow those, I mean what are you going to do? Shave the pilot to death

 

[Ben M]

Shave the night before? =\

 

[BrightonBelle]

Shave with a razor in the morning? Its only one day!

I was at Dubai airport once, went to the toilet to unleash some wee, came out and there was a guy using an electric shaver over the sinks. I was like

whays that shocking? unless he was shaving his balls?

 

[bsoltan]

Surely one can buy razors and electric razors in departures so I would've expected it to be ok.

Lol i have to agree, i find your shock shocking! Ive actually changed out of a suit and into plain clothes just in the middle of a mens toilet in an airport before... sometimes you just need to do stuff when you get the chance when your traveling.
