Dear all, just came across the following article in
today's Independent :
"Hand luggage restrictions at UK airports are to be
eased from tomorrow, the Department for Transport
(DfT) announced today.
Passengers will be allowed, once more, to carry larger
bags on to planes following the reduction in the size
of permitted hand luggage introduced last month after
the thwarting of an alleged terrorist plot to blow up
planes.
However, the ban on all but essential liquids in hand
luggage will continue, and passengers will still be
restricted to just one carry-on bag.
Musicians with instruments too big to go into hand
luggage will now be able to take them on board,
although they will have to be screened separately.
The easing of the restrictions on instruments, which
have had to be carried in aircraft holds since last
month, follows an impassioned plea for leniency by
conductor Mark Elder at the Last Night Of The Proms
earlier this month. "
