To
Take Or Not To Take The Bag Along
Following the introduction of new hand baggage
restrictions by the UK Department for Transport, British Airways,
have taken the decision to delay the implementation of the checked
and excess baggage policy.
The new policy, announced in June, was due to be implemented from
October 11, 2006, but will now be launched when they are clearer on
the longer-term plans for hand baggage restrictions for all airlines
in the UK and around the world.
They believe it is prudent to delay the launch so that they can
undertake a full review of the policy, in light of the UK
government's restrictions on hand baggage. This will allow them to
understand fully the implications for the changes planned for
checked baggage allowances and excess baggage charges.
They will continue to work closely with the DfT and BAA to manage
the implementation of the new hand baggage restrictions for
customers departing UK airports and to ensure that they have a
robust and sustainable long-term solution.
Thus, the current checked baggage limits will continue.
