During our preparation for our trip to Male, we decided to check with the Turkish airlines for any restrictions for carry-on and checked bags. During our first call we were told no electronics in the cabin, except for cell phones. All other electronics must be checked. We were also told that Lithium Ion batteries have been banned from both carry-on and checked bags. I started thinking about this after the call was over. It didn't make sense to me, because laptops have lithium ion batteries. I called again to specifically about electronics that have Lithium Ion batteries such as computers, dive lights, and cameras. He said they are ok to have checked, and confirmed that are not allowed in the cabin.Anyone here on the same boat to Maldives on MV Emperor Virgo from 23 Apr - 30 Apr?
