New EU travel rules to impact Ryanair, easyJet, Wizz and Jet2

The European Parliament has announced new EU travel rules affecting passengers flying from the EU back to the UK, with knock-on implications for budget airlines including Ryanair, easyJet, Wizz and Jet2. The changes focus on compensation, child seating guidance and, most notably, flight pricing transparency—ticket prices must clearly include the cost of hand luggage. The deal is intended to protect travelers against disruption such as denied boarding and delays or cancellations. The article says the UK is “expected to adopt the same measures” due to shared airline operations, while current UK regulations continue to govern certain EU/UK carrier arrangements. Ryanair criticized the proposal as “gobbledygook.”
