Flybe announce new hand baggage rules
05.01.08
Regional budget airline Flybe has announced that, following the UK Government’s decision to relax hand-baggage rules from Monday (January 7), it will revert to its policy that was in place before the restrictions were applied at airports that have been approved for more than one bag.
The rules mean that Flybe economy passengers will be allowed to carry one piece of hand baggage weighing a maximum of 10kg, while economy-plus passengers can carry the same plus a laptop at approved airports. All hand baggage must comply with Flybe’s dimension restrictions (see the website for details).
A spokesman for the airline said: 'Passengers should be aware when packing that the departure airport on their outward journey might have different restrictions to the departure airport on their return.’ He added that passengers should be aware that restrictions on liquids still apply, with quantities not exceeding 100ml per container, which can be carried in a clear plastic bag measuring no more than 20x20cm.
Each airport is being individually approved by the Government, and the list of approved airports will be detailed on http://www.DfT.gov.uk/transportforyou/airtravel/airportsecurity/cabinbaggage.
