easyJet customers who are flying back to the UK tomorrow from Sharm el-Sheikh will only be allowed one item of cabin baggage, the budget airline have announced.

It's part of tighter security restrictions put in place by the government.

What will passengers be allowed?

Passengers will only be permitted to carry one item of cabin baggage containing essential items on board.

Hold luggage will be brought back to the UK by a government agency and will be returned by courier.

What do passengers do when they get to the airport?

When passengers arrive at the airport they'll need to go to the bag drop desk as normal.

Once there, they will be greeted by ground crew, provided with a further letter and a baggage form (printed on the back of the letter).

They will then need to complete a form for each piece of hold luggage.

The hold luggage will then be accepted and tagged at bag drop as normal.

Arrangements are being made to return the bags back to the UK where they will be returned.
