I should have mentioned, that was a suggested solution for T5 only, where I assume IB would have the same limit as BA (although I don't know, as I've never been on IB yet so I have had no reason to look it up).
Of course, other airports and terminals would be more problematic, although I think BA's allowances in terms of size and weight seem to be one of the most generous, so they could use BA's max size for BA's purposes and it shouldn't affect any others adversely (they can do their own size policing if their allowances are smaller than BA's

).

I had two hand luggage-induced delays > 15 min last winter although I have had none this winter yet. I would not consider them negligible.
