[Idyllchat] Fw: Flying British Air

[Jayne Lewis]

I have really appreciated all of the correspondence on the dos and don'ts
for tote bags on British Air.  I am having a devil of a time finding a tote
bag that fits their size regulation.  Can someone tell me how they are
checking sizes?  Are you fitting it into a box, do they take a tape measure
out?  I have a collapsible bag that is 1" deeper than the allowed 6" and
smaller in one of the other dimensions. I was thinking if I don't fill it
completely it would certainly fit in a box.  Any thoughts?

Robert,

 

Even if someone has recently flown to/from Europe through London, things may
well change by the time you go.

 

Rick Steves has been updating his web page on the travel restrictions:
http://www.ricksteves.com/news/travelnews/0608/airport_security.html

 

His page provides a link to the BA site itself. If you want to go to it
directly, it is:

That is a very long URL string, but it is the direct one.

 

Here is another BAA URL that I found with more general information:
http://www.baa.com/portal/controller/dispatcher.jsp?CiID=566cefdec403d010Vgn
VCM10000036821c0a____
<http://www.baa.com/portal/controller/dispatcher.jsp?CiID=566cefdec403d010Vg

h=Corporate^Media%20Centre^News%20Releases^Results

 

If you have trouble with those two URL's, just use this one and work your
way to the security info: http://www.baa.com/

 

Good luck!

Has anyone flown British Air to Europe and back in the past few weeks? We
will have a group flying to and from Zurich via London next month and the
ladies are particularly concerned about the restrictions on make-up
including lipstick. Any recent experiences along this line would be
appreciated. 

Thanks,

Robert
