Help! Hand luggage

[lorapinky]

Hi evryone,

Whenwe went to WDW in 2005 we took the small disney children suitcase as hanfluggage, and we saw alot of other people doing this also.

With the new restrictions can people still do this or are they now too big???

When we went in Dec my small handbag was classed as my hand luggage. Coming home was completely the opposite.

This is not what you are allowed to take onboard. This is the Dept of Transport maximum they allow through airport security, 56cm x 45cm x 25cm

Each airline has their own restictions. Virgin 56cm x 36cm x 23 max 6Kg (8kgUC) http://www.virgin-atlantic.com/en/gb/passengerinformation/baggage/handbaggageuk.jsp

Just been to Amsterdam with BMIbaby theirs is 55cm x 40cm x 20cm Max 10kg

We took a cabin sized wheelie suitcase and it was fine, if you also take a handbag you must be able to put it inside or it will also count as hand luggage. The main thing is dont take any drinks or liquids, just buy them after passport control.

Hmm interesting point. At least if it is over DfT you know it is not allowed! But as you say best to check with the airline you are travelling with.

I think any liquids purchased after passport control must have the receipts and be sealed up until you arrive at your destination, I might be wrong so I'll check the airport for more information.Hope this link works fingers crossed.

Virgin were asking to see receipts but it didnt matter if the drink was open.
