Australian Airline Simplifies Baggage Policy Amid Criticism
Jetstar has announced it will stop weighing carry-on bags and introduce a Priority Carry-on fee, allowing passengers to purchase overhead locker space. The move replaces the airline’s previous 7kg limit, which often resulted in additional fees for passengers. According to Airline Ratings, this change may benefit passengers who consistently exceed the weight limit, as they can now pay a lower fee upfront. The airline’s decision to remove gate weighing may also improve the boarding process, making it more efficient and less stressful for passengers. This development was first reported by Airline Ratings.
