- The European Union finalized its largest reform of air passenger rights since 2004 in June 2026, with the measures set to take effect in 2027 after all legislative procedures are completed.
- From 2027 every passenger flying within or from the EU will automatically receive two free hand‑baggage items in the ticket price, plus a small personal item that fits under the seat; the larger bag may not exceed 100 cm in combined dimensions and 7 kg in weight, airlines may offer lower fares to passengers who travel without hand‑baggage, must display the full ticket price including mandatory fees, and passengers will no longer lose a return ticket if they skip the first segment of their journey.
