Flat iron

[SRUMom66]

I was just reading on the list of prohibited items that they are not allowing flat irons on board. We brought one in the past but may not have seen that on this list. Can anyone tell me their experience with this? Is it a new rule?

I always travel with a hair straightener “aka hair flat iron”and have never had an issue. My guess is they are referring to a flat iron as in clothes iron.

I've always brought mine with no issues

I guess clothes iron and steamers are still in the list of prohibited items.

A "flat iron" is a clothes iron and is prohibited.

My daughter brought hers on the Pearl last week, no issues!

I was so confused by that. I thought a flat iron was for hair. Now I understand. We are going to buy a flat iron, hopefully, for hair in Europe to use for the first part of the trip. My daughter's blew up last time on the first day. We are just going to try one we purchase in Europe and see if that works. Even with an adapter we did not have luck in not having it burn out.
