New Rules for Cabin Baggage on EU Flights
October 3, 2026
New rules for cabin baggage on flights within the EU allow passengers to carry two bags without extra charge. One bag must be small enough to fit under the front seat, while the second can be larger and weigh up to 7 kilograms. These changes are set to take effect by the end of 2027. The aim is to reduce additional fees that airlines currently impose for cabin baggage. The new regulations may also lead to cheaper tickets for passengers who choose to travel without cabin baggage.
