Hi Cal,
No, this is the rule as we flew through Heathrow 6 times in the last
120-days. Here is the quote from one of the airlines:
Cabin baggage allowance restrictions
The following cabin baggage allowance remains in place and is
applicable to all passengers:
* starting their journey at a UK airport
* all passengers transferring from international flights at a UK
airport
We advise passengers travelling to the UK to also adhere to UK cabin
baggage allowance restrictions when travelling within Europe or to
check individual airport operators.
* each passenger is permitted to carry ONE item of cabin baggage
through the airport security
* the dimension of the bag must not exceed a maximum length of
56cm, width of 45cm and depth of 25cm (including wheels, handles, side
pockets, etc)
* all items carried by passengers must be x-ray screened
* a handbag or bag can be contained within the one cabin bag, but
must not exceed the maximum dimensions
Best regards,
Ray
