Itinerary
Important Notice - Baggage
We are flying Ryanair who have very stringent regulations on excess baggage. Each individual has a 15kg allowance for a single item of hold luggage and a 10kg hand luggage allowance that should not exceed the maximum dimensions of 55cm x 40cm x 20cm. Heavy instruments will go into the hold as an individual's baggage allowance (the boys who will do this have been informed) which will mean that their personal luggage will have to be taken as hand luggage. Those boys who are putting suitcases into the hold should leave some spare room to help out the other boys. Smaller instruments can be packed into suitcases or can go as hand luggage, however, all music stands must be packed into the hold. Please note the new regulations concering what items may be carried in hand luggage. Check the Department for Transport's website for full details at http://www.dft.gov.uk/transportforyou/airtravel/airportsecurity/
