Passengers could be allowed two bags free of charge on planes under a huge flight law change. On Tuesday, the European Union’s transport and tourism committee proposed changes to EU passenger rights rules by 38 votes to two. MEPs said passengers should have the right to one personal item (such as a handbag, backpack or laptop) with the maximum dimensions of 40x30x15 cm. They should also have the right to carry on one small item of hand luggage (with a maximum dimension of 100cm and weighing no more than 7kg), without being forced to pay extra.

The EU agenda saw MEPs discuss everything from a common reimbursement form to there being no charge for selecting a child seat. Elsewhere on the agenda was a free on-board personal item and small hand luggage and better protections for customers travelling across multiple modes of transport. Sky News has earmarked the airlines and travel operators it could spell a big change for. The airlines which could be impacted include the likes of Ryanair, Wizz Air and Easyjet too.
