The rules regarding the carry-on of hand-luggage for flights departing UK airports have today been relaxed by the government. However there is a large element of confusion amongst UK passengers because the new rules do not apply to every single UK airport. Therefore it is being advised that passengers contact the Security of the airport from which they are flying from.

Now passengers are allowed more than one piece of hand luggage which they can carry-on to the airplane, however this rule doesn't apply to every UK airport yet.

Here is a full list of the UK Airports allowing more than one bag -

• Aberdeen
• Benbecula
• Birmingham
• Cambridge
• Cardiff
• Edinburgh
• Glasgow
• Heathrow
• Inverness
• Islay
• Kirkwall
• London City
• Manchester
• Newcastle
• Plymouth
• Prestwick
• Southampton
• Southend
• Stansted
• Stornaway
• Sumburgh
• Wick

It would seem that instead of the new rule relaxation being welcomed, passengers are confused as to where they stand. This is something I can totally understand because all passengers want is a little consistency which is what they got when the restrictions on hand-luggage and liquids wew introduced. Yes some were inconvenienced but overall passengers understood why the restrictions were in place and accepted them because they applied to them no matter what airport or airline they used in the UK.
