Recently, the US has banned electronic devices larger than a smartphone to be carried inflight. These devices (laptops, tablets, etc.) need to be checked in to which plenty of people are inconvenienced. Flights from Dubai to the USA would be a minimum of 13 hours and a lot of passengers use these devices to make use of their time onboard.
Responding to this rule, Emirates airlines has offered a service where passengers will still be able to use their devices up until boarding time at the gate. These devices will be securely packed and labelled and will be stored in an aircraft hold.
