EU to Allow Airlines to Charge for Carry-On Bags: Spain Leads Opposition

The European Union is considering a controversial proposal that would allow airlines to charge passengers for carry-on baggage. This decision has sparked significant debate, with Spain among several countries expressing strong opposition. The proposed changes also modify the rules regarding flight compensation for delays, potentially reducing payouts for passengers. According to the report by Antena 3 Noticias, "The current norms are outdated and confusing; they don't reflect the current reality." This new legislation has been met with criticism from consumer advocates, who argue that it undermines passenger rights and benefits airlines. The video highlights the concerns of passengers who may face increased costs and reduced protections. While the proposal has passed, the opposition from countries like Spain underscores the ongoing debate regarding the balance between airline profits and passenger welfare. The final decision will have a significant impact on air travel across the EU.
