french_disko Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 Hand luggage ban?I've missed something.it's hard to miss... it's only the lead story on every tv / radio / internet / newspaper / pub bore - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4778575.stm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catherine Posted August 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 watch the newsyes im refering to that.means my suitcase now weighs over 20kg :/ but they cant complain cause your allowed 5kg for your hang luggage and ive had to pack it all now.cause i aint putting all my cameras and stuff in a rucksack for them to throw about. i know folk who work in luggage handling. you dont want to hear the stories.means major delays too. the airline called to tell us to try arrive really early. but everyone is traveling on mega bus from aberdeen so cant exactly get here any quicker. arg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rachie Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 I just heard about this at work. Bloody hell. It'll be interesting to see if all the london flight commuters get home for the weekend. Unlikely for today anyway... Heathrow's at a standstill until 3pm today at least.I'm hoping they'll have lifted the hand luggage restrictions by Sunday when I head to Dublin' date=' it's only a short flight though... feel sorry for the poor folk heading back to all the different countries from the Youth Festival here... with instruments in tow - which have to go as hand luggage![/color'] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bluesxman Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 Flight delay vs. getting blown up in mid-air.....I obviously have different concerns.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noir Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 i think it's fair enough them banning hand luggage, but will they thouroughly check the hold luggage?i agree it sucks for instruments and stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spellchecker Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 in the 120 pounds of semtex found in hand luggage?Taking 60kg of semtex in hand luggage?? that's ridiculous! they'd never get away with that. It's a STRICT 5kg limit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Jack Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 Is anything flying out at all? or are there just delays? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoonie Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 at glasgow, they're not letting people into the airport unless they're flying, i.e. no family and friends. everything has to be packed into main luggage outside the airport and handluggage (which is extremely strictly monitored and there are rules about what's allowed) is being put into clear plastic bags. hence, what are you going to do with anything you buy in the shop? you can't take it on board and your shit is probably gonna be checked in. that only leaves stuff which you can eat before you get on so maybe that's their reasoning.not sure if it's the same in aberdeen, i'm just going by what's on the radio. /x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Amy* Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 Urgh, hope you're not suffering too much Catherine! Certainly not the start to the holiday you'd want.I'm flying from Edinburgh on Saturday morning so fingers crossed there's not too much damage then. I really don't want to put my camera and all in my proper luggage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hog Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 I see your point Amy, I have received my luggage back and it looks like a smashed up shell, slightly resembling a suitcase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
