If you're lucky enough to be able to drive. We're going to be stuck if we have to fly over seas to catch a cruise. There are a lot of people who fly from the UK to Barbados to board as well. I feel for the airlines, they're stuck between a rock and a hard place. Now if they could just get the luggage to the destination with the passenger, we'd have it made
In the news this morning - it seems the airlines are beginning to relax the carryon restrictions in the US. HOWEVER the size of the carryon is smaller now (down to 16" I believe) and you are limited to ONE carryon, PERIOD.
I believe that carry-on restriction is for UK flights and not U.S. internal flights. Here is Delta's advisory for UK travel. And here is their U.S. info.
