The U.S.  and UK ban will be in place effective as from March 25.

The UK said it is banning passengers from bringing laptops, tablets, large e-readers and other bigger electronic devices in passenger cabins on flights from six countries —Turkey, Lebanon, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Tunisia —arguing they may pose security threats.

The U.S. prohibition covers flights from Cairo, Istanbul, Dubai, Kuwait City, Abu Dhabi, and Doha, along with Amman, Jordan; Casablanca, Morocco; and Jeddah and Riyadh in Saudi Arabia. The biggest airlines affected by the U.S. ban will be Emirates, Etihad, and Qatar, along with Turkish Airlines.

The ban is from those countries to the UK or U.S. and not originating from the UK or U.S.
