Not so much a question..but here to help you!BBC news @ 6am Monday 14 August.. have just announced changes re hand luggage etc..(apart from London Airports). Prior to this.. i had just called Glasgow Airport to check if my friend can travel this week with her Biker's helmet as hand luggage. The BAA woman I spoke to said THIS IS NOT THE CASE YET RE HANDLUGGAGE..AND BBC HAVE GIVEN WRONG INFO!!! Therefore please check with BAA and/ or your airline before you travel.. don't listen to the news only..as in this case seems to be wrong.. Hope this helps !

Yeah, I thought what was said on the news was a bit confusing but Dr Reid has apparently said there will be a gradual reducing in the hand luggage thing and also that the airport / airline terrorist threat has been reduced. Methinks it was only a campaigb to stop some of these idiots trying to take giant cases as hand luggage anyway.

Read the BAA web site - it's quite clear and doesn't make any exceptions for crash helmets

Thanks for that, but personally, I think it´s common sense to contact the airline that you´re going to be flying with before you fly, don´t you? Although I do appreciate that not everyone thinks logically.
