Air passenger rights: common EU standards needed for hand luggage

MEPs will argue that the “one bag” rule imposed by some airlines infringes passengers’ rights, in a debate with the Commission on Thursday at 08.30. They will also discuss whether airlines should be allowed to specify “essential” or “non-essential” items or to otherwise restrict cabin baggage allowances, particularly as regards passengers’ airport retail purchases.

16-1-2013 — /europawire.eu/ — MEPs will put pressure on the Commission to harmonise commercial practices and set minimum upper limits for the size and weight of hand luggage on EU flights.

You can watch the plenary debate via EP Live, and EbS+.
