Charge Devices Or Risk Losing Them - Heathrow Warns US Passengers
People flying from Heathrow to the US have been advised to make sure electronic devices being carried as part of their hand luggage are charged before attempting to travel.
The airport issued a statement on it's website and Facebook page, stating that if the device did not turn on, when going through security, passengers risked not being allowed to travel with the item.
The statement reads: "If you are flying to the US please make sure any of your electronic devices are charged before you travel. If your device does not switch on you may not be allowed to bring it onto the aircraft."
It follows a request from the US for increased security on flights into America, after reports of a "credible" terrorist threat.
It is not known if these new restriction for flights to the US will be implemented at other airports in the UK.
