talking about bags, I managed to take on board a 22inch suitcase, plus 2 laptop bags on a BA flight AGP-LHR. Far bigger than the allowed size. Nobody said anything. Not even the BA staff on board.
Getting fed up of this baggage policy that exists at UK airport. It's like locking your house door but leaving the windows wide open. That is what airspace security is like now. Tight security in UK, but all other EU airports are just as before, so hardly tight security over UK airspace?
All BAA has to do is get some more staff. they have enough scanners, but I have yet to see all of them open to passengers. Most times only 50% are working.
