    BMI INTRODUCES NEW CABIN BAGGAGE POLICY

    A1+
    07 January, 2008

    bmi, London Heathrow's second largest airline, is to introduce new
    cabin baggage rules with effect from Monday 7th January 2008, easing
    the "one bag rule" for hand luggage taken on flights, following the
    removal of certain restrictions at a number of UK airports by the
    Department for Transport.

    Under the new guidelines passengers travelling in business and premium
    economy cabins will be able to take two pieces of cabin baggage,
    while economy cabin passengers are able to take one piece. Individual
    pieces of cabin baggage must be no larger than 55 x 40 x 23cm and the
    passenger should be able to lift their bags unaided into the overhead
    lockers. Rules governing the carriage of liquids remain unchanged.*

    In addition, all passengers may also bring one personal item, such
    as a small handbag, purse, small briefcase, laptop or baby-change
    bag. Laptops in a thin satchel or slimline briefcase will be considered
    a personal item but those in a larger computer bag or bulkier briefcase
    will be counted as a piece of cabin baggage. Personal items are
    accepted at bmi's discretion.

    The policy, which is in line with fellow Star Alliance member
    airlines, will apply from 7th January at the following UK airports
    bmi operates from: London Heathrow, Manchester, Glasgow, Edinburgh,
    Aberdeen and Inverness.
