Dispute over Mini Hand Luggage: Consumer Protection Group Takes Eurowings to Court

Answer

Why are consumer groups taking Eurowings to court over hand luggage?

Consumer groups say the Basic fare may not be clear enough because many travellers expect a normal cabin bag when they see “hand luggage” in the price. They also argue that a final advertised price should show all typical needs more transparently. The case matters for Mallorca travellers because Eurowings is widely used on routes to and from the island.
