Happy New Year! Drink a little too much last night? That’s what I thought. Grab a cup of coffee (or a Bloody Mary), and hopefully I can take your mind off that pounding headache.
A month and a half ago, I noted that the UK would begin allowing airports to permit two carry-on bags per person. The big question was . . . which airports would be ready in time for the January 7 launch?
Well, we’re less than a week away now, and the news is mostly good. If you’re flying to London/Heathrow, two carry-ons will be allowed. That’s very welcome indeed, and it goes for London/Stansted, London/City, Manchester, Aberdeen, and Birmingham as well. Unfortunately, London/Gatwick and London/Luton aren’t on the list so you’ll probably want to avoid them if you were hoping to not check bags.
The rest of the airports that will begin allowing 2 carry-ons on January 7:
Benecula
Cambridge
Cardiff
Inverness
Islay
Kirkwall
Plymouth
Prestwick
Southampton
Southend
Stornaway
Sumburgh
Wick
