SiSiSi Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Should a laptop go in hand luggage or suitcase? Is there a reason why one is preferable to the other? Opinions please. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinz Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Anything of major value goes with me. I have no confidence in baggage handling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandad.Malky Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Have you seen the way they throw suitcases about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiSiSi Posted August 7, 2011 Author Share Posted August 7, 2011 What about security checks, X-Rays and the like. Do they have any effect on computers or memory sticks. As well as physical damage I'm also concerned about data being erased. I've never taken a laptop through an airport before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grandad.Malky Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Of course I do So what difference does it make if you buried it in your suitcase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The airport x-ray machines will have no effect at all on your laptop and any memory sticks / cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
