Great News: Etihad Is No Longer Subjected To The US Electronics Ban

As I wrote about a few days ago, over the coming months the US is introducing new security requirements for US-bound flights. This means you can expect much more thorough security checks for US-bound flights. However, there was a silver lining. The electronics ban currently in place for flights from 10 airports in the Middle East to the US would be lifted, assuming those airports complied with the new procedures. The procedures had to verified by the TSA, and then electronics would be allowed again. I wasn't expecting this to happen overnight, though it looks like the first such electronics ban has just been lifted. Passengers traveling Etihad Airways from Abu Dhabi to the US can once again take their electronics aboard.
