[UK-CONTEST] NEW HAND BAGGAGE RULES

[Don Beattie]

Possibly of interest to those who do one-man "lite" DXpeditions, British Airways will shortly introduce new hand baggage rules on all flights. There will no weight limit (within reason) for carry on. The rule says:

HAND BAGGAGE
>From 5 July 2006, all customers will be able to take one standard-sized bag (maximum size of 56cm x 45cm x 25cm), plus one briefcase, laptop bag or equivalent into the cabin as hand baggage. You must be able to lift your hand baggage into the overhead locker unaided and the briefcase or laptop computer bag or equivalent must fit under the seat in front of you.

Time to get into training to lift the Alpha over your head ? (:-)
