Baggage Advice
From 7 January 2008, the UK Department for Transport approved new hand baggage arrangements at a number of airports in the UK. This means that at these airports the restriction previously imposed limiting hand baggage to one item per person no longer applies. As a result we have amended our hand baggage policy.
What are the key hand baggage changes?
- If you're travelling on a Business fare (and Premium Economy to the USA or Caribbean) you may carry two pieces of hand baggage
- If you're travelling on an Economy Flexible, Economy or Economy Saver fare you may carry one piece of hand baggage
- Hand baggage must be no larger than 55x40x23cm
- You must be able to lift your bag unaided into the overhead locker
- In addition, all passengers may carry one personal item
Important
If you are travelling from or transitting through an airport where Government restrictions still apply, the single hand baggage allowance remains in place.
New baggage policy applies at the following airports:
- Aberdeen
- Belfast City
- Edinburgh
- Glasgow
- Jersey
- London Heathrow
- Manchester
- All overseas airports
Limit of ONE piece of hand baggage is retained at:
- Leeds Bradford
- Durham Tees Valley
- East Midlands
- Norwich
Please visit the Department for Transport website for an up to date list of compliant airports.
bmi's Hand Baggage policy has been revised to provide consistency with our Star Alliance partners.
Regulations regarding the carriage and quantity of liquids allowed through airport security are unchanged and remain in place
