Answer 3 :
Yes, you can bring it on the plane- it will just have to go through security check.
Answer 4 :
does the ariplane have wireless?
Answer 5 :
You can bring your laptop. You normally have to run it through the x-ray outside of the traveling case though.
Answer 6 :
You are allowed to bring it onto the airplane. The major requirement with bringing laptops on airplanes is that, when you go through security, you have to remove it from whatever bag it may be in and be sent through the scanner by itself.
Answer 7 :
It's allowed I do it every week when I fly.
Answer 8 :
I took one on the plane with me to Canada from the U.S. last week without a problem. The rules seem to change alot so I would call the airlines before I assumed that they would let you take it on. Good luck!
Answer 9 :
Yes you can bring a lap top computer in a plane.
Answer 10 :
ITS OK TO BRING IT IN!
Answer 11 :
You can bring a laptop. They might make you turn it on to show it's working and not a fake. You can only use it during certain times, but they'll let you know.
Answer 12 :
No, you can bring it (unless the laws are different for traveling outside the country-not sure, always traveled in the US). You do have to take it out of the case at the airport though and put it in a seperate bin when they x-ray it. And you can't have it on during take off and landing, but the rest of the time it's usually okay, unless they tell you otherwise.
Answer 13 :
Yes you are allowed to bring a laptop on an airplane. You will have to take it out of its case to get through security but other than that there is no problem. Make sure to bring an extra battery though so you don't run out of power on the way to Spain.
Answer 14 :
You are allowed too but make sure to take it out of its bag/case at the security checkpoint because if you send it through the x ray machine in the bag, they will take it out and bring you to the side for extra security screening. Take it out and you move on through no problem
Answer 15 :
you can take them on board, but keep an eye on it. people tend to steal from the security area, laptops are a main target
Answer 16 :
Laptops are allowed. You just have to take them out of their case before you run them through xray.
Answer 17 :
yes it is allowed they may ask you to turn it on but you cannot use the Internet on the plane but yes i belive that you can
Answer 18 :
It depends on the airlines you are using. If you are using modern airlines you can connect your laptop to the internet too.
Answer 19 :
Yes you are :) I have taken mine to the USA and all over Europe. I got back from a two week holiday in Portugal on monday where I took my lappy. They even allow you to use it in the air, offline of course :) Hope that helps and have a great time in Spain!
