The European Union will implement a new hand‑luggage regulation on 23 October, after publishing it in the Official Journal on 2 October. The rule permits passengers with a standard ticket to carry two cabin items: a small bag not larger than 40 × 30 × 15 cm and a trolley not larger than 55 × 40 × 20 cm.
Low‑cost airlines such as Ryanair and Wizz Air already allow personal items of 40 × 30 × 20 cm on some fares, and airlines may offer a cheaper fare for passengers who do not take a trolley, although the regulation does not guarantee lower ticket prices.
