UK hand baggage question??

[FLYboh]

Do the UK restrictions affect inbound flights?

I ask because I'm flying to GRO this weekend and hope to be able to check-in online for the return flight as my luggage meets Ryanairs hand baggage policy. Obviously it will have to go as hold baggage on the outbound flight as it will be too big for the current UK security limit.

Thanks for any help:ok:

It appears to be no problem to bring on mobiles, laptops, trolleys what-have-you anywhere in Europe outside UK - don't ask:ugh:

Doesn't seem to any problem coming into UK !

Well, BOAC & older_wiser(!), since the alledged threat was identified to be on a flight ex-UK, I don't see why you find this perplexing.

Even if it wasn't, isn't it better that the UK authorities are doing something about it, even if others are not?

[BOAC]

Second point agreed whole-heartedly, but your first assumes these people do not travel?

I've just now had to make an unsked change from QF to BA, enroute LHR. I thought this might create a problem for me because of my carry-on baggage and the fact that QF have no restrictions, going TO LHR. It was confirmed to me that there are also no carry-on baggage restrictions on BA for the same destination.
