I have heard nothing from the IPA yet regarding DofT crew guidelines, so in the interim (suggest you print and carry?) this, courtesy of 'Ransman' on another thread from BA (for PAX, so crew SHOULD be ok??)
My
BOLD text and a bit of editing to remove inessential stuff.
British Airways welcomed the Government's announcement of Monday August 14, easing restrictions on hand baggage on flights departing all UK airports.
From Tuesday August 15 all UK airports implemented the new hand baggage policy.
Customers departing from the UK:
Customers travelling from the UK will be able to take on board as hand baggage one cabin bag no bigger than 45cm x 35cm x 16cm, the size of a small laptop bag.
Cabin baggage MUST NOT contain:
Any cosmetics
Any toiletries
Any liquids
Any drinks
Cigarette lighters
Cabin baggage CAN contain the following:
Electronic equipment, including laptops, mobile phones and portable music and DVD players
Essential prescribed medicines in liquid form provided they are under 50ml. Customers will be asked to taste the liquid. If they cannot taste the liquid for any reason they will be asked to go to an airport pharmacy to have the medicine verified.
Nothing must be carried in pockets. For more detail of the Baggage restrictions click here
Please ensure that you do not check into the hold any essential items such as:
· Household and car keys (including electric key fobs)
· Travel documents including passport and itinerary and any important contact details
· Essential medicines for the journey
· Wallets or pocket size purses
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.
Extra restrictions are in place for customers travelling to the USA from the UK. Customers WILL NOT be permitted to take any liquid or gel items purchased in the departures lounge into the aircraft cabin. All food or beverage items must be consumed before boarding.
