European Parliament negotiators have reached a deal requiring airlines to display ticket prices inclusive of a full-size carry-on bag and personal item, though they can still offer discounts for opting out

## Summary

European Union regulators have finalized a deal to change how airline fares are marketed. Under the new rules, airlines will be required to display ticket prices inclusive of a full-size carry-on bag (up to 7kg) and a personal item. This does not ban charging for bags; instead, passengers can opt out of the carry-on during booking to receive a discount. The goal is to make fare comparisons between airlines more "apples-to-apples." The legislation is expected to be finalized soon, with significant implications for ultra-low-cost carriers like Ryanair, which often markets lower base fares by excluding bag fees
