The European Parliament has voted to ban airlines from charging passengers for small carry-on luggage, a change that reflects a ruling from the European Court of Justice in 2014. This proposed regulation allows passengers to carry a personal item and a piece of small luggage for free, countering current airline practices where many low-cost carriers charge for hand baggage. Despite this vote, the decision is not yet final; it requires endorsement from the full parliament and EU member governments. The aviation sector has criticized the move as limiting consumer choice and raising travel costs.
Members of the European Parliament have voted to prohibit airlines from charging fees for small carry-on luggage, aligning passenger rights with a previous court ruling.
The regulation aims to ensure passengers can carry a personal item and one piece of small luggage without extra fees, opposing current airline practices.
