Default Taking cash on a plane

Im flying from Edinburgh to Southampton with Flybe on saturday morning to pick up my new car. I just need to know if it is ok to take cash on the plane or will I get asked questions when my bag is x-rayed?

I know its not illegal but I just wondered if it would raise any eyebrows. Has anyone ever been stopped and asked what it is for?

I reckon you may get asked where it has come from, just take proof in case. A mate of mine had 22k taken off him!

Just got off the phone to the airport. If you have more than 10k on you it must be declared/checked through customs and I can't be fucked with that. Need to see if he will take a draft.

just put them in your pockets, i think the chances of beeing caught with to much cash is equal to a plane crashing..
