EU agrees on new passenger rights: two pieces of hand luggage to become standard by 2027
Summary
The article discusses new EU passenger rights that have been agreed upon after years of negotiation between EU member states and the European Parliament. These consumer rights, which the Dutch Consumers' Association (Consumentenbond) has fought hard for, are expected to take effect by the end of 2027. Key changes include standardizing two pieces of hand luggage in tickets, but the article notes that the new rules are a mixed bag — some improvements and some setbacks for travelers.
