British Airways Eases Cabin Luggage Restrictions (January 05, 2008)
British Airways is increasing its cabin bag allowance. As of 7 January 2008 you will be able to carry two pieces of hand baggage through security when departing or transferring from London Heathrow, London City, Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Glasgow or Manchester airports. The British Airways hand baggage allowance is as follows:
-
One bag no bigger than 56 cm x 45 cm x 25 cm (22 inches x 17.5 inches x 9.85 inches) (including wheels, pockets and handles).
-
In addition, one briefcase or laptop sized bag.
The maximum bag weight is 23kg and you must be able to lift the bag into the overhead lockers in the aircraft cabin unaided.
The restrictions on carrying liquids have not changed so make sure that any liquid containers you plan to carry do not exceed 100ml and that they are in a clear, re-sealable plastic bag.
Other UK airports are expected to phase out restrictions in line with the new guidelines. Until this happens, the one-bag allowance still stands for all other UK airports. If you are flying from or transferring through other UK airports, it's worth checking with the transferring airline or the airport operator before you travel. Also check if you are flying from another UK airport and transferring through Heathrow.
