Does anyone know to what extent these rules extend to aircraft chartered by companies specifically for their employees? The amount of time wasted in airports to fly scheduled services is bad enough without adding an increased risk of losing company data in laptops left in the care of baggage handlers. Biz jets are starting to look attractive once more.
As for luggage which is required by law to remain with me at all times, I'm so glad I don't have to do those journeys anymore.
