Major airlines to introduce new hand luggage rule - starts in 2027

Major airlines plan a new hand luggage rule starting in 2027, aiming at greater transparency for travelers. The policy will prohibit charging extra fees for correcting spelling errors in passengers' names and allows obtaining a printed boarding pass if they have already checked in. Passengers will be able to receive digital boarding passes at check-in without creating a separate account or app, and will not be denied boarding for using a self-printed boarding pass. Reactions are mixed, with Ryanair's Michael O'Leary criticizing the measure as unnecessary and easyJet's Kenton Jarvis calling it crazy and a risk to cabin space.
