Is that in case anybody packs a bottle of Covid in their backpack and decides to crack it open midflight? Hopefully usual Daily Express nonsense.

Apart from when I spent 2 months in South Africa I only ever take a rucksack when away.

Simply because I hate waiting at the merry-go-round for my case. It's like being in a crowded pub with shit service.

What are you gonna do with the duty-frees? They all be clunking around in plastic bags in the overheads.

Hopefully it's a load of rubbish.

My mum does

I continue to try to steer her towards something else. I have pushed the i but the breakthrough is yet to come, unfortunately.

Maybe its the Government's way of assisting the airline industry on the sly...don't give them a financial bailout, but ban hand luggage so everyone has to pay extra to put it in the hold...

Good, hand luggage is a pain in the arse, I always check my case into the hold and then sit back in my seat watching people battling to get a space in the overhead locker near to where they’re sitting, I recon anyone without hand luggage should be allowed off the plane first this missing the scrummage at the gate of people trying to retrieve their stuff.
Never had a long wait at the baggage reclaim for my case.

She's that generation of Irish woman who thinks "the royals do a good job, to be fair" , "Thatcher was at least a real leader, whatever you thought of her" and "ah, there;s too many immigrants in London now" ignoring the fact that she's an immigrant who married an immigrant.

Private Eye have done bits on the guy that writes them actually. Can't find it online but it's a guy called Nathan Rao who I think used to work for the Express then left to go freelance - freelance which consists entirely of selling junk weather stories back to the Express for a mark up.

Those stories are brilliant, the apocalyptic headlines always gradually peter out to light drizzle as the article progresses e.g. "Tropical Cyclone 10 heads for Britain: Atlantic SUPERSTORM to spark UK 'monsoon' next week" ends with "We expect a cloudy start to next week, with patchy rain possible, but also some warm sunshine in the east."

I read an article in the Gaurdian the other day
In which the writer basically pointed out that we shouldn't be travelling abroad anyway.
Fair point, however as I've forked out nearly two grand so far on a holiday that might not even go ahead or the other possibility that it will and we'll face a two week quarantine when we return, which we can't afford anyway.
His suggestion was to take a holiday in Skegness instead.
I'll take my chances in Cyprus mate. I'm a lot less likely to pick it up there than I am in Skegness!!

Good luck with that Brian. She obviously didn't read the editorials back in the day which saw the Irish as second class citizens and probably still do!!
Mind you my late mum and countless others Irish mammies were big fans of old Liz!!

I suspect it’s bollards!

What about those that need to carry: laptops and other electrical items; medical equipment; and stuff for babies? It’s bad enough clearing formalities now, but imagine the delays if you’ve got to go through your stow in more depth?

If you’ve ever seen how your luggage gets tossed around, then your hardly going to want fragile items in stow or, put valuables in the way of tempted light fingers. That said, the airlines will be looking at ever more inventive ways to prize more money out of your wallet.

Yes. It's a clear case of 'hey, we've come up with a cunning new way to rob a few more quid, er, i mean, keep our passengers safer...'
