LHR Crew Security Screening Compliance – May 28, 2008

The BAA (British Airport Authority) in LHR has asked us to remind crew members they must continue to strictly comply with the liquid restriction policy in place. While the policy is different than what we face in the US, we have no choice but to comply with the restrictions and follow their policy. Crew members leaving LHR are allowed to carry 3oz liquid containers in a quart size clear plastic bag without checking their luggage. If you exceed that limitation your bag will be tagged and must be checked. If crew members are caught not complying with this policy, the BAA has assured us that they will require ALL crew members to check their bags regardless of its contents. We want to avoid that from happening. Again, please do not bring the bag on the plane and place it in the cabin if your bag has been tagged and contains more than the allowance.
