Episode Details

Jetstar’s about to shake up your next flight: starting February 27, you’ll pay to stow carry-on luggage in overhead bins—starting at $25 AUD one way. But don’t panic—your small personal item (like a laptop bag) still fits under the seat for free, and the weight limit’s jumping from 7kg to 10kg. The airline says this helps cut boarding chaos and lets passengers pay only for what they use. While budget airlines elsewhere already charge for overhead space, Jetstar’s move is bold for Australia—and comes as analysts note its fares are higher than some European rivals. It’s a clear sign budget carriers are rethinking convenience to manage costs and capacity.
