Have (Strong) Hands, Will Carry (More)

Carry as much as weight as you can in a standard size bag as cabin baggage but with a condition that you will have to lift it unaided.

This is the good news from the British Airways to its customers as the airlines announced that from early July passengers travelling on its flight across the globe can carry one standard-size bag and one briefcase as hand baggage on all flights without any weight restrictions.

This rule change by British Airways could work to the benefit of young travellers. BA should probably clarify whether senior citizens can take help from other passengers, as some of them might not be strong enough to lift overweight luggage. Knowing the general Indian tendency to carry more, it would be interesting to see how BA applies this rule to the India sector.
