Hand baggage

When you travel with British Airways, you need to ensure you are aware of the restrictions on your hand baggage, including:

• the maximum allowable size of your bag
• the restrictions on carrying liquids
• the restrictions on carrying duty-free liquids and when they might be purchased
• the list of banned and restricted items in your baggage

Your free size allowances

The standard-sized bag is no more than 56cm x 45cm x 25cm (22ins x 18ins x 10ins), including the handle, pockets and wheels.

The bag must be able to be:

• fitted into the gauge available in the check-in area
• lifted into the aircraft's overhead lockers unaided

…so I'm thinking/hoping I'll be ok.  (One last note - the "hard" or "rigid" height dimension is 9.5")

And Till, no, this is the only one I picked up.  After a ton of internal debate and nail biting, I decided that I'd use a carry-on wheelie for our trip in June, and this is going to be it.  I'll still pack light to leave some room left over for purchases.
