The European Union has just finalized some new regulations that will impact airline passengers. In a separate post, I covered how we’re going to see positive reforms to Europe’s (already) generous flight delay compensation scheme. That came as a surprise, since the belief was that the policies were going to become less generous.
That’s not all that’s changing, though. We knew that regulators in the European Union were considering introducing common dimensions for hand luggage, essentially banning airlines from charging fees for carry-on bags. There’s now an update there as well, as rules will change, but not quite as drastically as had been proposed in the past.
In June 2025, the European Parliament’s transport committee even voted in favor of this proposal. However, that didn’t mean that this would actually become law, as negotiations still needed to take place with the European Commission and the Council of the EU.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
