The UK government's Department for Transport has announced revisions to restrictions in place for hand baggage allowed to be carried on all UK departing flights. The new restrictions will be implemented by airports around the UK from today. The changes mean customers will now be able to carry with them a larger industry standard-sized bag, no bigger than 56cm x 45cm x 25cm.
Customers who need to carry with them musical instruments may now take them through security, provided they can be x-rayed. Restrictions on liquids remain and customers may NOT carry the following items through security in their cabin bag:
· Liquid cosmetics. Solid cosmetics may now be taken in cabin bag
· All toiletries
· All liquids
· All drinks
Laptops and large electrical items will be allowed on board in hand luggage but will have to be taken out of bags for separate screening as has been the practice since last month. Cigarette lighters must not be carried through security.
