MEPs vote to start standardising airline carry-on luggage and fees

In a resolution on uniform standards for airline carry-on luggage, MEPs argue that consistent EU rules on sizing and pricing are needed

The resolution highlights the inconvenience caused by inconsistent rules, and calls for a revision of EU air passenger rights.

Different airline rules on hand luggage created hidden fees and made it more difficult to compare prices.

New legislation should also address other hidden costs, for example fees related to seat allocation.
