Passengers would choose to fly with another airline rather than pay for hand baggage, according to research.
Last week Wizz Air announced a trial to charge for large cabin baggage which it will roll out if successful, see previous story.
But flight booking site Skyscanner found that 88% of travellers would choose to fly with a competitor if an airline starts charging for hand luggage.
The poll revealed 64% of respondents deemed this new charge ‘unfair’.
Skyscanner’s Sam Poullain said: "Travellers now accept that some airlines charge for hold luggage. However an additional charge for hand baggage is a step too far for some."
