Recently members of the European Union parliament called for the abolition of hand luggage fees and a similar motion is under consideration in the UK, whilst pressure on ‘junk fees’ has mounted in the US too. With such calls in many markets around the world perhaps the airline industry should be looking at pushing different types of ancillaries that can add value for travellers, whilst still generating revenues for the industry.
