Baggage arrangement changes for some UK airports
- Published: Wednesday, 2 January 2008
The Department for Transport has approved new security arrangements at a number of airports in the UK.
This means that at these airports the restriction previously imposed - limiting hand baggage to one item per person - will no longer apply, with effect from 7 January 2008. However, airlines apply their own operational policies governing the number of items of hand baggage which may be taken in to the aircraft cabin.
Airports where the one bag restriction no longer applies are:
- Aberdeen
- Benbecula
- Birmingham
- Cambridge
- Cardiff
- Edinburgh
- Glasgow
- Guernsey
- Heathrow
- Humberside
- Inverness
- Islay
- Kirkwall
- London City
- Manchester
- Newcastle
- Plymouth
- Prestwick
- Southampton
- Southend
- Stansted
- Stornaway
- Sumburgh
- Wick
Important note
The above changes have been issued in addition to guidance previously published on Directgov. You should always follow the most recently published information or contact your nearest airport or BAA if you are unclear about the current baggage arrangements.
