Travel experts warn UK travellers about potential baggage fees and confiscations due to Christmas gift restrictions at airports. Airlines are strictly enforcing rules on liquids, item quantities, and baggage allowance, which could result in hefty charges or lost gifts. Packing smart and avoiding prohibited items like alcohol bottles and large gift sets is crucial for a stress-free holiday travel experience.
More than 4.7million UK travellers are expected to hit the skies during Christmas and New Year this December, but travel experts at airport transfer company SCS Chauffeurs are warning that bringing Christmas gifts to the airport can incur hundreds of pounds in charges for breaking airline rules Whilst most travellers are aware of the restrictions, many Brits may not realise the rules also apply to Christmas gifts - even if they’re wrapped.
Travel expert and commercial director of SCS Chauffeurs Hadleigh Diamond said: “Airlines are cracking down on baggage allowances, and checked-luggage fees can quickly add up—especially when budgets are already stretched by the rising cost of living. If you're travelling abroad with Christmas presents this year, packing smart is essential.
