Restrictions on the number of items UK passengers can take on board aircraft are to be lifted in the new year, according to a report today.
Transport secretary Ruth Kelly is expected to unveil plans to ease bag restrictions, the Financial Times reported.
British Airways chief executive Willie Walsh had previously forecast that limits would be relaxed soon (see previous TravelMole story).
The FT report says that travellers will be allowed to take two items of luggage on board from the new year. But restrictions of carrying liquids are to remain.
Passengers were limited to a single carry on bag after UK airport terrorist alerts in August 2006.
