Whether you’re a mum trying to find out if a baby seat is safe for a flight, or a keen cyclist trying to figure how take your bike to America, trying to find to the right baggage information for your flight can be a backbreaking task.
To help cut through the mouse-clicking, Airport Parking and Hotels (APH) has pulled together the numerous and confusing, baggage allowance rules and regulations for all of the UK’s consumer air travel into one easy to use online tool.
Aimed at helping the 32% of travellers who admitted to finding packing the most stressful aspect of going on holiday in a recent APH survey, the baggage allowance finder allows users to select their desired airport and airline before returning up-to-date details of the regulations that will be enforced on their flight.
The comprehensive results show the specific instructions for up to 12 categories, including hand luggage, check baggage, pushchairs and car seats, baby food / milk, medicine, laptops and tablets, wheelchairs, golf clubs, skiing equipment, bicycles, surfboards and musical instruments.
Nick Caunter, managing director at APH, said: “With an ever growing and changing set of rules and regulations, feeling like you’re packed and prepared for a holiday has become a frustrating research task.
“Being able to pack well in advance has been shown to help 36% of travellers, so our baggage allowance finder will help more people take advantage of this for a less stressful experience, and give them the confidence that they will avoid any excess weight charges or other shocks before they travel to the airport.”
