Yes. Yes, you can. TUI follows standard UK and EU rules. That means your straighteners, curling irons, and even those terrifyingly hot multi-tools are totally fine. They don’t care if they’re ceramic, titanium, or made of pure unicorn magic.
But wait—there’s a tiny catch. It’s not about heat. It’s about size and batteries. If your straighteners are cordless and have a lithium battery inside, you need to keep them in your hand luggage. Never in the hold. That’s a battery fire waiting to happen.
If they’re corded—classic plug-in style—you’re golden. Tuck them next to your passport. No one will bat an eyelash. Literally no eyelash. Because you just straightened them.
The Quirky Detail No One Tells You
Here’s the funny part. Security guards don’t care about your straighteners. But they will ask about your giant bottle of shampoo. Why? Because liquids are the real villains. Your straighteners? Just hot metal. No crime there.
Imagine the conversation: “Sir, is that a flat iron?” “Yes.” “Carry on.” That’s it. No beeping. No pat-down. Just pure, smooth acceptance. It’s almost boring.
But here’s a weird fact: Some airlines used to ban them in hand luggage. Panic! But TUI? They’re chill. They know you need to look good for the instagram shot at the pool. They’re your hair’s best friend at 35,000 feet.
