EU proposals for free extra cabin bags on planes ‘lunatic idea’, says easyJet

Giving passengers right to additional carry-on baggage would be terrible for the consumer', warns airline's CEO

EasyJet said proposals to enforce free additional cabin bags on planes across Europe are a lunatic idea", warning of fare rises and flight delays if legislation goes through.

The European parliament last week voted overwhelmingly to give all passengers the right to carry on a small case, as well as the free underseat bags currently permitted.
