Higher fares could slam flight passengers to popular region as airlines shift costs: 'Not a fan'

The European Parliament is considering a proposal to require airlines to include one free personal item and a standard carry-on bag in ticket prices, which could lead to higher flight costs. The policy aims to standardize baggage fees but faces opposition from travelers concerned about increased ticket prices. Airlines may still charge for additional or oversized luggage, with differing EU member state positions under discussion.
