Hi all,

I am wondering if anyone has any experiences with the electronics ban on flights from AUS connecting in AUH to the US. In particular, I am wondering about things like a GoPro and Bluetooth keyboard to use with the on-board ipad. Several people seem to suggest taking a bluetooth keyboard, but if you go by pure measurements I would have thought it would not be allowed.

I can't seem to find clear answers about what is banned, one page on Etihad's website lists large cameras but suggests small cameras may be ok and the TSA notice also seems to be kinda vague.

Also curious what people's experience has been like with the gate check process for laptops in AUH.
