bigway 4 #4 March 16, 2007 Flying out of heathrow last december and you were not even allowed to take pain killers. I believe flying into the UK and flying out of the uk are two different things entirely. .Karnage Krew Gear Store . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

14000andfalling 0 #7 March 16, 2007 I work as a Flight Despatcher at Gatwick and you should have no problem at all. So long as you have no liquids in containers bigger than 100ml you can get pretty much anything through. I can definately say for sure that Continental and Virgin will give you no problems. Let me know which Airline you're going with and I'll be able to get you a definate answer, and if there are any problems I should be able to sort something out for you.

bigway 4 #8 March 17, 2007 You just opened up yourself a whole new can of worms. I think we will need a new forum for requests to you .Karnage Krew Gear Store . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mark4 0 #9 March 19, 2007 Although I have carried my rig as hand luggage many times without issue, several airlines have a 6 Kg weight limit on hand luggage. I just got back from Perris, flying Virgin and on the way out of Heathrow they weighed my hand luggage. Luckily I had checked in both my rigs this time otherwise I'd have been screwed. Maybe I just got an overzealous check-in guy but if your hand luggage is overweight, its probably worth hiding it from the check-in staff Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
