Apologies for
(1) this has been asked before (BUT I need the latest info) and
(2) it might not be the correct forum

Am flying this afternoon with Canon A1 in Kata CC-193 including Canon 970G batteries in handbaggage and PAGlight C6 batteries in hold baggage.

I believe this is OK. Am I wrong?

The BA website only mentions USA Carriage of lithium batteries.

No probs with the batteries through security BUT I picked up some horrible virulent bug on the plane down and made the mistake of flying back up in that condition yesterday. Result: I went completely deaf in both ears on the flight back. Very painful and even more scary trying to convince myself that both engines really were still running. Very eerie (ho-ho) being in a totally silent plane. Apparently it could take weeks for this to go away.

Thanks for the carrier info Colin.
Your bug sounds very nasty. Get well soon.

Thanks, Richard. Got some hearing back now. Here's to Amoxicillin!

Terminal 5 was running very smoothly, by the way.
