only carry on alowed to Scotland on BA?
I recently booked a flight from London to Edinburgh on BA. I noticed the luggage restrictions stated only carry on allowed no checked luggage for flights inside the UK. We are going hiking for a week!! Guess we will have to be conservative in our packing. Any one experoence this policy lately?

Total rubbish unless something has changed in the last few hours
You are only allowed one bag as carry on but this has been the rule for several months now and within the UK you are allowed 1 checked bag of up to 23kg

Care to say where you got your information from?

Where does this restriction come from?
As you've described it, it beggars belief: Britain has exceptionally tight restrictions on carry-on baggage, so it'd be lunatic for a company that wanted to attract customers, and has any amount of competition from trains, other planes and £1 a journey cheap buses, to - in effect - ban luggage.
The BA website's clear: on domestic flights, one checked bag free, excess charges over 23kg (or in some circumstances 32kg) or for extra checked bags, if the flight's part of a longer journey, the most generous allowances apply to whole of a journey.
Nowhere - not on the site, or in any recent emails - is there any mention of a more uncommercial policy.

maybe you check the site again (or give us the link where you think you read this). It probably says something along the lines of "only 1 item of hand luggage allowed through security". That is nothing to do w/ checked luggage.
