[UK-CONTEST] NEW HAND BAGGAGE RULES

[Alan Jubb - 5B4AHJ]

Unfortunately you can now only take a single bag to put in the hold. If you 
want to take more than one you have to pay extra, if I've read the info 
correctly. Having just taken the decision to exchange my large suitcase for 
two small ones as I'm not supposed to lift heavy bags (for medical reasons), 
I will not be travelling BA whilst these rules are in force. I should have 
thought this rule would affect most DXpeditioners.
