*Travel News*
Posted in If you are traveling through Kuwait to a European destination you can not take on any carry on luggage. The only items you are allowed are:
- Wallet with credit cards, cash, identification
- Travel Documents
- Medication (diabetic kit ok)
- Baby food for babies
- keys (non electronic)
- glasses with no case
Everything else has to be checked in. Every gadget you have: mp3 player, camera, laptop, lip gloss, liquids(very techinical gadget), everything. And yes for those of you wondering, no make up!
They are implementing it for all airlines going to Europe and the States, and they think they are going to enforce this rule for travel within the GCC as well. So you cant carry anything. I just heard this from a friend it he Civil Aviation. Things are going to get crazy at Kuwait Airport, I dont know what is happening at other airports.
You can carry a book, and magazines with you, but I dont think anything else!
Update: No problems bringing a carry-on on GCC flights. Still banned on European flights. They are fine tuning the details! Still more to come.

Damn i need to fly out pretty soon.this will be a hassle.

no3ik: loool! No they didnt say anything thing about the shoes! Just dont carry any liquids! hehehe! I just need my gadgets!

This will be a big test for those people used to using their mobile or other gadgets while waiting for the flight or in-flight.
I guess the overhead compartments will be almost empty for once! We usually have to “fight” over space.

Does that mean I cannot carry My DSLite…NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO:0
August 13th 2006 at 8:22 am
Jewaira: I know! Its going to be crazy I wonder how people will react to all this. But its going a bit over board! But we shall see!
Fallen: yeah, and I will have to put my DS Lite in the check-in!

Aqib: Ok I just asked, and any rules applying to flights to the UK are also being applied to US flights as well so you have check in your laptop! put it between a lot of clothing.. thats the only recommendation I could make for you! Im traveling soon as well, and I cant do anything about it!

August 13th 2006 at 7:32 pm

I am dreading my trip back to q8.. its usa to london to q8 and its going to be a disaster i know it.. no perfume for when it gets stuffy and smelly .. no hand lotion.. except the boring kind we get in flight.. :’( no putting on nail polish to kill time.. :’(
my brother is leaving in 3 days alone.. im worrying about him.. they say heathrow airport is a disaster right now..
August 14th 2006 at 8:34 am
7nen: If you can switch airlines, please do. That is my recommendation. From I know about Heathrow airport right now, your bags arrive todays after you where ever you go. Alah ekoon ib 3oon okhooch! I recommend Frankfurt as a transit point!
August 15th 2006 at 5:43 am
Not even an Ipod? i have a flight to montreal in 4 days!!
August 15th 2006 at 8:26 am
Lexicon: Especially not an Ipod! If your going through london then your basically screwed!
August 18th 2006 at 8:12 am
yaiy we can bring ipods now! plus mobile phone, and a small bag, too!!
my bro arrived in q8 but he’s kindof ib3alam weya rab3a so not answring me to tell me how the trip was..
August 18th 2006 at 12:30 pm
7nen: 7amdilla 3ala salaamat okhooch! well thats good news! I dont know how much longer they could have kept this up! I will check with the airlibes on saturday, but did your brother come from the US or UK?
August 18th 2006 at 9:45 pm
Allah yselmik,,
BOTH! he left from the US, and his transit was in London..
Last time he travelled the same trip but with my other brother and they were kind of harrassed and he said they looked at their place of birth (Q8) (coz they had US passports), and then told them “Oh, you both are RANDOMLY selected to be hand searched”..
I hope they didnt give him a hard time hal marra..
August 18th 2006 at 10:40 pm
7nen: inshalla they didnt! Bes I know what he goes through.. I go through it all the time when traveling through the states!
