Hi,
Irrespective of class( even F) , it is one bag at LHR ( you could put your laptop bag inside your other bag to get through security then take it out)
Regards

And here I thought the old movie series had been revived with a new location:

I'm not sure how strict they are. I went through LHR security this weekend with another FTer and we both took two bags through, no problem. One rollaboard and one laptop bag each.
This was T3, fast track FWIW.
And yes, I know the rule is one bag only. I was going to put my laptop bag into my rollaboard if I had to.

I've departed LHR twice this month (T3 fast track)...
The guards of the entrance seem more focused on the plastic bag nonsense than the # of bags....I saw a handful of people with 2 bags that made it through but didn't attempt it myself.

When I flew through LRH again last week, it seemed MUCH less strict and I didn't even notice anyone turned away for having more than one bag.

I've been out of LHR about 6 times in the past two weeks. UA check-in will tell you to check in the second bag, but Fast Track has been *VERY* lax about it.

I was stopped entering the Fast Track section of the Flight Connections Center and made to put my handbag into my carryon last weekend.
