A Day Later and Revised Security in UK
A day after Britain imposed drastic regulations on what could be carried on International flights in and out of Heathrow, the regulations have been relaxes. In summary:
Restrictions remain in place on the contents of cabin baggage:
Cabin baggage MUST NOT contain:
* Any cosmetics
* Any toiletries
* Any liquids
* Any drinksCabin baggage CAN contain the following:
Electronic equipment, including laptops, mobile phones and portable music and DVD players,
Prescribed medicines in liquid form e.g. diabetic medicines
Baby milk and liquid baby food (the contents of each bottle MUST be tasted by the parent)
To help progress through the airport all customers are encouraged not to include items capable of containing liquids (e.g. bottles, flasks, cans etc.) in either their hand or checked baggage.All electronic equipment will need to be removed from the item of hand baggage and screened separately. We recommend these items be packed carefully for easy removal at the security search point.
It appears that some sort of normalcy will return before our scheduled flight and cruise in November. Preparations will continue with that in mind.
