No Hand Luggage Restrictions from Tenerife

As I am sure the whole world is already aware, British aviation has banned all hand luggage on aircraft leaving the UK, in the wake of the wake of yesterday's foiled terror plot. The BBC lists Packing advice for UK passengers here.

This morning I called the information desk (+34) 922 759000 at Tenerife South, Reina Sofia airport to see what the situation was, specifically on flights leaving Tenerife for Britain. I am told that, at the moment, there are no restrictions and that passengers are being allowed on planes with the normal hand-luggage.

This, of course, is subject to change, but if you were flying home today, I guess you can still take bottles of duty free booze. Those days may be numbered, if, as reports suggest, the restrictions become permanent, or more widespread.

President of the Federation of Hostelry and Tourism (FEHT), Fernando Fraile, was quick to inform that the 138 flights programmed from the Canaries to the United Kingdom yesterday were operating without incident.
