Okay, so January 7th sees the BAA set to relax the one piece of hand-baggage rule!
As a gentle reminder before the floodgates open, British Airways only allows two pieces of cabin baggage (which must fit the sizing gauge without forcing) in First Class and Club. Passengers travelling economy are only allowed one cabin bag for the overhead bin and one small briefcase or laptop which, if you decide to take it, MUST be placed under the seat in front of you! Most "heritage" airlines have similar cabin bag allowances.
Please do not attempt to exceed your cabin allowance. BAA may send you back from the security line, in which case you will probably miss your flight, or you may delay your flight while we gate check excess cabin baggage (or possibly leave the extra bags behind to get the flight away on time!)
