Higher fares could slam flight passengers to popular region as airlines shift costs: 'Not a fan'

The controversial move could potentially drive up costs for travelers going forward.

The differing positions will be discussed at a key meeting scheduled this week to determine whether a final agreement can be reached, the blog noted.

Others said the change could make it easier to compare ticket prices without factoring in extra baggage fees.

"I personally like how this is going," said one person. "At least I can compare the ticket prices without thinking how much I need to add if I'm bringing a bag."

They also point to a previous European court ruling that suggested carry-on luggage is a necessary part of air travel, and that it should not always be subject to additional fees.

Critics, however, warn the policy could lead to higher ticket prices, particularly for those who typically travel light.

"Prices will go up for all now. Not a fan," another user said.
