What Is the EU's Hand Luggage Ban and How Will It Affect Travel for Brits?
- On June 24, EU lawmakers passed a rule to end charges for small cabin bags on flights within the EU.
- The rule follows years of stalled reforms and opposition from EU transport ministers and airlines against banning fees.
- The proposal lets passengers bring one cabin bag up to 7 kg and 100 cm plus one personal item free, while airlines urge caution over cost impacts.
- Matteo Ricci described the rule as a significant move to enhance fairness and clarity in air travel, while Andrey Novakov emphasized that there is still more progress to be made.
- If confirmed after negotiations, the changes could improve passenger rights but risk ticket price hikes and inconsistencies with non-EU countries like the UK.
