The 100 cm refers to the sum of length, width, and height (combined dimensions), not a single dimension
The proposal also includes a weight limit of 7 kg for the hand luggage
Passengers would be entitled to an additional smaller personal item (under-the-seat bag) free of charge
The proposal was approved by the Transport Committee and endorsed by the full Parliament in January 2026
