UK Airports set to Relax Baggage Restrictions
Airports across the UK have begun relaxing and removing the one bag limit rule and are allowing passengers to carry more than one piece of hand luggage on flights.
Since a nationwide tightening of security at airports in August 2006, passengers throughout the UK have been restricted to one piece of hand luggage. Many airports have now been giving the go ahead to allow passengers to carry more than one piece of hand luggage, providing that they have installed improved security scanners. Heathrow, Birmingham and Manchester are amongst those airports which have the improved scanners and are allowing passengers to carry more than one piece of luggage onto flights.
While many of the country's major airports have been given the go ahead, some have yet to be - including Bristol, Luton, Leeds Bradford, Liverpool John Lennon and Gatwick among them. Airlines such as easyJet, Ryanair and Flybe are continuing to keep the one-bag limit it place.
The restrictions on liquids and cabin baggage still apply and airlines may place their own restrictions on the amount of hand luggage. Passengers are advised to check with their airline for further details.

Customer Reviews
Purple Parking Gatwick I would like to personally thanks the lady bus driver that drove us to the terminal at nearly 3am on Friday 3rd and she was also our return driver on Friday 10th almost 3pm.
I was there with my mother who has restricted mobility at the moment. The driver was most helpful with assisting me and my mum on and off the bus on both occasions. The car was bought to the reception for us and she even helped get luggage to the car.
I really wish I got her name but hope you are able to work out who the driver was by the times we travelled and thank her. A lovely lady.
Would definitely use air park’s purple parking again.
