It does not matter a hoot what is said in there t&c if the staff at the checkin and gate force you to put it all in one bag then they will, if you don't you wont be flying with them its as simple as that its a case of what the other hand says, these new conditions have been issued on the the 5th April just in time for the holiday rush, we have all been warned, look what happened at Bristol/Dalaman flight this week had more bags than passengers all had to get off the plane and ID there own bags found one item over a cricket bat that caused a 2 and 3/4 hour delay with 169 passengers on board and only 18 passengers going back to the uk
The main reason is the delay in loading passengers into the aircraft if the aircraft is on the ground and oversteps its departure time it costs the airline a heck lot more than its worth it is also seen by the airlines as another way of getting more money out of you as scunner says if they stopped the restrictions and made it the same as long haul baggage rates all would be well, I have said it before they always allow 50kgs of baggage allowance per passenger for fuel calculations so what the problem for the airline to allow 25kgs per person including kids.............none
