What are the latest airline regulation changes in the UK?


Category: Airline regulations

Two new regulation changes took effect from January 2008.

The first change is about the “One bag and one bag only” rule.
It has now been loosened.

Now you can take on board one bag plus a small personal item like handbag, small camera bag, laptop bag, etc. However, not all airlines or UK airports allow the personal item. Only some airlines flying out of some airports let you carry more.

So, what you should do is to check in advance if your carrier and the airport allow this. Generally speaking, most airlines, except some low-cost ones, allow the second personal item carry-on. And to the airports, Heathrow has had the security status approved, but Gatwick hasn't.

The second new regulation is on the number and size of Li-ion batteries.

Because lithium batteries may catch fire, there are new restriction on Li-ion battery transport. Under certain restrictions you can take them in carry-on luggage although they are still banned in checked luggage.

Make sure you check the following details before you pack:
