Planning a holiday involves a lot of considerations, from packing essentials to ensuring your documents are in order. However, it's crucial not to overlook the stringent hand luggage rules imposed by airlines and with a recent Government U-turn regarding liquids , restrictions may be different to what you think. The era of complimentary checked-in bags is long gone.
Nowadays, even fares that only include hand luggage come with restrictions. Airlines such as TUI, easyJet, Ryanair and British Airways each have their own policies regarding what passengers can bring onboard flights for free, whether it's one small bag or two. To help you avoid any unpleasant surprises, we've compiled a guide to the 2024 bag rules for the UK's largest airlines, with up-to-date rule revisions.
Over the weekend, the Government announced a last-minute U-turn on rules regarding the amount of liquids passengers can carry in their hand luggage when departing through UK airports. This means all passengers leaving the UK must revert back to only carrying 100ml liquids, pastes and gels in their hand luggage until further notice. The announcement comes after some airports were given the greenlight to allow passengers to carry up to two litres of liquids in their hand luggage, following the installation of new CT scanners.
