British Airways slashes the size of hand luggage

London: The UK's flag carrier British Airways has reduced the size of the hand luggage, for economy class travellers, by nearly half from August 18 after claiming that big passenger bags were causing regular flight delays.

The maximum size of main carry-on bags will remain unchanged, but smaller second bags such as handbags will be capped at 40x30x15cm instead of the current 45x36x20cm, the airline said in a statement.

The airline, which allows each person to have two bags in the cabin, is almost halving the size of the "personal" bag from August 18, it said.
