More hand baggage among raft of changes for airlines
Under new rules voted on by members of the European Parliament, airline practices such as forcing you to buy a new return ticket if you do not take the first leg of the journey will also be banned.
Only 2% of people who could have claimed compensation for delayed and cancelled flights managed to do so — proof that the current rules are failing passengers, according to Jim Higgins, Fine Gael MEP for Ireland North-West.
