Huge changes to flight rights from free seats for kids to hand luggage fees (but only on some planes)

Big changes are coming to European air travel that will greatly improve passenger rights, including eliminating extra fees and ensuring families can sit together without extra charges. These new rules also extend to better compensation rights for disrupted flights. However, these benefits will only apply within the EU, meaning travelers might face different rules when flying internationally. These updates highlight the EU's commitment to enhancing the travel experience for its citizens.
