From 7 January 2008, the one item restriction will no longer apply at Manchester International Airport.

However, the restriction will still apply at Leeds Bradford International and Robin Hood airports

The maximum size for items of hand luggage is 56cm x 45cm x 25cm per bag, but airlines also apply their own policies governing the number of items of hand baggage which may be taken in to the aircraft cabin.

• Before departing,  check with your airline on the cabin baggage arrangements for your particular journey.
• Where possible, put all liquid items in your hold baggage. This includes water and other drinks, creams, sprays, pastes and gels.
• Liquids, gels and aerosols are only allowed in individual containers of 100ml. All containers must fit comfortably in one, transparent, re-sealable bag no larger than 20cm x 20cm (eg a freezer bag).

TransPennine Express trains to Manchester Airport and MetroConnect buses to Leeds Bradford International Airport all have full-height luggage racks, with shelves part-way up for smaller bags.
