Request: update on Euopean baggage transer / carry-ons
Is the UK still the only one that is nuts on the one tiny bag for carry-on
rule, or have some other European countries copied the silly rule? -- Binyamin Dissen http://www.dissensoftware.com Should you use the mailblocks package and expect a response from me, you should preauthorize the dissensoftware.com domain. I very rarely bother responding to challenge/response systems, especially those from irresponsible companies. |

I very rarely bother responding to challenge/response systems, especially those from irresponsible companies. I think the situation is quite well summed up on this (official!) page http://www.dft.gov.uk/transportforyo.../returningtouk. In other words, nobody really knows. And, to make matters worse, the UK is about to change its' rules. As far as I can make out the change will only apply if the airport has installed "3D" scanners and then you'll be allowed 2 pieces - maybe. So you'll have to know the rules for the specific airport (and even terminal?) you pass through and then of the airline. Oh and the liquid rule still applies as far as I can make out. My best advice (and an official from Manchester airport made the same point on a news report yesterday even though his airport should be one of the two bag places) is stick to one bag and a liquid baggie - that way you won't be caught out. |

Better instead to skip UK airports. I suppose I could Eurostar to Paris but living in the UK means I don't have much choice other than to use one of our airports (if I want to fly). |

If I could work out an easy way to get from the airport at Amsterdam to Europort and nip over on the P&O ferry to Hull it would make life easier but there doesn't seem an easy and cheap way to do that... -- William Black I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach Time for tea. |

But living in the UK means you have a better chance of knowing the rules. I think most of the grief comes from people from outside the UK. Actually in the UK I saw several passengers with carry-on baggage bigger than the average adult. Apparently these bags were checked in, but carried on the aircraft. The only downside: you have to purchase a seat for your bag. - Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - |
