Baggage Advice for Travelling Passengers

From January 7th Newcastle International Airport will be lifting the restrictions on one piece of hand luggage. This will be phased in over 2 days.

The tighter hand luggage regulations were originally implemented in August 2006 following threats from liquid explosives.

This will mean passengers travelling on airlines which carry the new policy flying from Newcastle International, will be allowed more than one piece of hand luggage but will still not be allowed to carry liquids, creams or gels of more than 100ml in cabin baggage.

For full details on liquid restrictions please see our security advice section.

Not all Airports can facilitate this relaxation though so please check carefully that all airports in your journey have also changed this policy.

We would remind all passengers that each airline has their own policy regarding cabin baggage allowed on their aircraft and we strongly recommend that all passengers check direct with their airline before travelling to the airport.
