I agree that this sounds as if there may be an element of presentation to make it more acceptable, but I wonder what has happened to handling costs and whether this is a cost recovery tactic with delay reduction benefits?
We know that the airlines have been increasing hand luggage allowances and one wonders if their contracts are based on a target number of pieces per flight, with penalties for more? In which case the latest restrictions will be costing the airlines a lot of money, as do delays.
Daz, can you shed any light, without giving away commercial info?
