Lufthansa rules are 55 x 40 x 20, in line with most other major airlines and many passengers will have bought luggage which complies. Your mini-rucksack would have complied with that, of course... Can it be squeezed down to 16 cm deep?
It will be very interesting to see how diligently this rule will be applied - but good riddance to the wheelie-bin wardrobes!
The BAA person on TV just now virtually admitted that BAA aren't capable of passing information to their staff before mid-afternoon. This is patently absurd, they need to pull their fingers out and if I was Willie Walsh or Michael O'Leary I would be insisting on that immediately - why should their airlines be obliged to inconvenience passengers because BAA are incapable of quickly applying the revised rules? I would certainly be threatening legal action as BAA are unreasonably restricting the lawful rights of passengers.
