Sunrise girl,
The original message in the ops first post, I presume an extract from BA.com, does specifically say that crackers are not allowed at all at LCY, which I presume is why Andrew was asking why LCY is different.
The BA site says:
Christmas crackers sometimes contain restricted items such as scissors or other sharp items, so to avoid security issues, please place them in your checked baggage only. Please note:
* Crackers are not permitted on any flights out of London City airport
* Maximum two boxes per passenger
* The crackers must be commercially manufactured
* The crackers must be in the manufacturer's original packaging
* The crackers are for personal use only
* Homemade crackers are not permitted
Some airports may have further restrictions on crackers. Please check with the airport before you travel.
So "cracker-policy" varies slightly from airport to airport. I was curious about why that might be the case (apart from them having different owners).
I'll be flying LHR-NCL with my crackers safely stored in my checked luggage, so no concerns there.
