Outbound in Y EWR - Gatwick
normal carry-on, ie one 9x14x22" rollerboard + carrying one suit in a plastic sleeve.


Return in Y Birmingham (BHX) EWR
1 bag with nothing else. So I'd have to stick the stuit in my carry-on and then check it in and carry-on my laptop.


Note, I plan on carrying my laptop in my suitcase on the way there and hand carry the suit. On the return with the 1 bag and nothing else, there won't be room for both my laptop and suit in my suitcase unless I really jam it in there (not preferred) or expand my suitcase to 11x14x22" as I pass through security at BHX and then take the suit out to carry-on and re-collapse the suitcase.

I know these questions have been asked before but with the recent incidents, I just want to make sure nothing has changed.

And last question, anyone know how bad/long the security is at BHX?

thanks.
