Helmets travel free for TT

Flybe will let bikers bring their helmets on board when travelling to the Isle of Man for TT, free of charge.

In a statement, the airline says passengers are allowed to take two pieces of baggage on board, as long as they comply with size regulations.

However, it also says it appreciates the 'importance of the Annual TT Races' which sees motorcycle enthusiasts from all over the world flock to the Island.

Therefore, as of Monday, May 20 to Friday, June 14 it will allow helmets to be carried as one of a customer's two permitted items - as long as it can fit under a seat. 

It's reminding passengers they can't take three items of hand luggage on board without it costing them.
