Episode Details

Jetstar’s about to shake up your next flight: starting February 2027, you’ll pay $25 AUD (about $18 USD) to stash your carry-on in the overhead bin. Yes, really — while small personal items like purses or laptop bags still fly free under the seat, your main bag? That’s now a fee. The airline claims it’ll speed up boarding and reduce stress from full bins, ditching the old 7kg under-seat limit and letting overhead bins hold up to 10kg. Critics worry Aussie travelers won’t love this move, especially since Jetstar’s fares are already pricier than European budget rivals. But CEO says it’s all about on-time departures and paying only for what you need.
