What is EU's hand luggage ban and how will it affect Brits?
If you're travelling abroad this year, particularly via the EU, you might wonder what the proposed hand luggage fee ban is and how it could affect you and your travel plans. This week, reports have suggested that the European Union is looking to ban airlines from charging passengers for hand luggage under 7kg and to standardise cabin bag dimensions across the board. Here's what we know about the possible change and how it could affect those travelling to Europe from the UK. What does EU hand luggage fee ban mean for Brits? Travel agency has shared insights from James Spalding, UK Head of Aviation, on how this change could affect customers. Hand luggage policies are different depending on the airline you fly with meaning those who don't travel often need to brush up on the rules before going away. James Spalding said: 'If the EU introduces a standard size and removes fees for small cabin bags, it could bring greater consistency across the board. That means fewer unexpected charges and a simpler way to compare fares between airlines. 'That said, it's unlikely airlines will absorb the cost entirely. It may be built into the base fare instead. While that could mean slightly higher upfront prices, many travellers will welcome the added transparency - knowing exactly what's included in the ticket from the outset.' The BBC added: 'Under the new rule, travellers would be allowed to bring one cabin bag measuring up to 100cm on board their flight, as well as an under-the-seat personal item with a maximum size of 40x30x15cm at no additional cost. 'The proposed law still requires approval from 55% of EU member states, but if adopted following negotiations starting in July 2025, the new rules would extend to all flights within the EU, as well as routes to and from the EU.' Your rights if your flight is cancelled or delayed How will the EU hand luggage fee ban affect prices? James explained: 'Over recent years, many European carriers have introduced fares without hand luggage to offer more flexibility and competitive entry-level pricing. 'If that option is removed, airlines may explore other ways to offer choice — for example, by introducing or expanding 'priority' options for early boarding or guaranteed cabin space. 'Cabin storage is always limited, especially on full flights. We already see some airlines asking passengers to check bags at the gate when overhead lockers are full. 'If more passengers bring similar-sized bags onboard under a single rule, it could lead to more operational changes and a bigger focus on how baggage is managed at boarding.' Do I need travel insurance? How can you get a good deal if prices go up? If prices rise, James says 'comparison is key.' Using platforms like will mean travellers can compare prices and 'see what's included in their fare - from cabin bags and checked luggage to seat selection.' Use search filters so you can select your preferences when booking your holiday so you can 'avoid unexpected costs at checkout' and find the flights and holiday deals that suit you. Will UK airlines ban hand luggage fees? Since the UK operates outside the EU now, you might be wondering how this hand luggage fee change could affect you and your holiday. James said: 'That's an interesting one. If the UK doesn't adopt the same rule, there could be a bit of a mismatch - especially on flights between the UK and the EU - with different policies for the outbound and return legs. That might cause some confusion for passengers and create complexity for airlines. Your passport is your most important travel document - it's worth taking your time to get right! Before submitting your application check: - your photo meets all requirements - all personal details are correct - supporting documents are ready - payment details are accurate — His Majesty's Passport Office (@HM_Passport) June 16, 2025 'To simplify things, some carriers may choose to align their policies across both EU and UK routes, even if it's not a formal requirement. We'll have to wait and see how the industry responds.' What are the hand luggage sizes for Ryanair, Jet2, easyJet and more? Each airline has different allowances for hand luggage, here's what we know. Ryanair's website says: "All our fares include one small personal bag which can be brought on board, such as a handbag or laptop bag (40x20x25cm), which must fit under the seat in front of you." easyJet says passengers can bring one small cabin bag: Maximum size 45 x 36 x 20cm (including any handles and wheels) Includes items like a small trolley case, handbag, rucksack and laptop bag, but please check dimensions Needs to fit under the seat in front of you Maximum weight 15kg. You need to be able to lift and carry the bag yourself Recommended reading: Jet2 says: "You can bring one piece of hand luggage onboard free of charge, as long as it weighs no more than 10kg and is no larger than 56cm x 45cm x 25cm, including any wheels and handles." Here's what you're allowed to bring on board when flying with British Airways: 1 cabin bag, max. 23kg (51lbs), up to 56×45×25cm (22 x 18 x 10in) 1 handbag or laptop bag, max. 23kg (51lbs), up to 40×30×15cm (16 x 12 x 6in) Wizz Air allows two types of bags to be brought onboard, according to its website rules: It allows everyone one small carry-on bag, which should be placed under the seat, maximum size: 40 x 30 x 20 cm, 10kg. Exceeding these dimensions will result in additional fees being charged.

Stop throwing away gin bottles because saving them could make you £10
Bargain hunter Kirsty is a part time eBay and Vinted seller, who managed to make a whopping £8,000 last year by getting rid of her unwanted items like gin bottles Many of us relish the chance to flog our unneeded bits and bobs online. If your wardrobe 's bursting at the seams, your kids' threads are too small, or you've got knick-knacks scattered around that'll never see the light of day, it might be high time for a grand clear-out. Shifting your goods on the web doesn't just declutter your space - it can also line your pockets with a bit of extra money. Yet one lady claims to have taken things a notch higher than offloading garments, household goods, playthings, and games. She's even peddling actual rubbish on the internet. She swears there's a genuine market for items she'd typically chuck – and they're snapped up quickly. Bargain hunter Kirsty, who dabbles in selling on eBay and Vinted part-time, boasts of bagging a cool £8,000 last year by ditching stuff she no longer needs. The astute seller recently confessed she pocketed £10 by auctioning an empty Whitley Neill gin bottle on eBay. Taking to her TikTok account, where she regularly dishes out top-selling advice, Kirsty exclaimed: "I have just sold an actual piece of rubbish on eBay... This sale has blown my mind." Kirsty recounted how she discovered the gin bottle discarded near a bottle bank, adding: "So when this was new and full of gin this was between £20 and £25. "When I saw it, I thought people like these coloured glasses for upcycling projects and things like that. So I knew someone on eBay would buy it." Thrifty Brit Kirsty couldn't believe her luck when she successfully sold an item for £9.99 on an online marketplace, admitting that she "aimed quite high". She gushed: "It's crazy, a tenner for something that was literally going to go in the bin." The astute seller also accounted for postage, charging £3.55 and only spending £2.97, netting herself a tidy profit of £8.65. To ensure the item arrived intact, Kirsty planned to pack the glassware with utmost care using bubble wrap, a sturdy box, and extra padding. She also shared some pearls of wisdom for fellow sellers: "Do look out for glasses which are coloured, or they're more unique or unusual because people do like to collect them, or like I said, they like to use them for their upcycling projects."

I asked Glasgow locals for their verdict on Labour's one year in power
Keir Starmer's party won a huge majority – 411 out of the 650 seats in the Commons – but this was deemed a shallow victory as they managed just 33.7% of the vote. Since then, their fortunes have collapsed, according to polling expert Professor John Curtice, more rapidly than any other UK government in history. READ MORE: Scots back independence as Keir Starmer's popularity at record low – poll An Ipsos poll published to mark the one-year anniversary of Labour entering power found that just 25% of UK voters expect Starmer to win a second term in Downing Street. The most recent polling from YouGov, Find Out Now, More in Common, Opinium, Techne, and BMG Research have all projected that Nigel Farage's Reform UK are set to beat Labour at the next Westminster election. On the streets of Glasgow one year on from Labour's victory, the prevailing feeling among people The National spoke to was one of disappointment. Numerous people said they had voted Labour in the hope of change, only to be let down by the reality. 'They are literally just acting like Tories,' one person said. 'They're doing the same sh**, they're cutting benefits, they are acting horrifically towards disabled people, elderly people, and poor people – the exact demographics who had already been treated horrifically.' Two policy decisions which have marred the Labour Government's first year in office came up time and time again: the cuts to the Winter Fuel Payment, and the cuts to disability benefits. READ MORE: Lesley Riddoch: A progressive Scotland can win out. Zohran Mamdani is showing how Of course, Labour have since U-turned on those policies, withdrawing the cuts to disability from their welfare reforms entirely at the last minute, and reinstating Winter Fuel Payments for pension-age people with an annual income below £35,000. However, Starmer's Government have only closed the barn doors long after the horse bolted. The damage – caused by their decision to look to the elderly and the disabled to make 'savings' – has been done. 'They can cut welfare, but they've got billions for the f***ing arms industry,' one Glasgow local said. 'It's f***ing atrocious.' UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has seen his polling fortunes collapseI talked to literally dozens of people on the streets of Scotland's biggest city on Thursday – and not one expressed support for Labour. In a city that saw every one of its constituencies turn red just 12 months ago, that was a genuine surprise. One lady did say: 'I don't think there's any government will get us out of the mess we're in. I don't care who it is … The previous have left too much mess. They're playing catch-up constant.' That was as close as anyone came to expressing even an understanding as to why Labour's first year in Government has not been what many may have hoped. Unless Starmer can inspire a lot more than that, his odds of holding on to power in four years' time seem vanishingly slim.
