Court in Palma: Vueling Must Repay €50 for Cabin Baggage — a Reality Check for Travelers

Answer

How can I prove my cabin bag was within the allowed size?

Measure the suitcase before departure and keep a photo of it with the tape measure visible. If you are challenged at the airport, photos of the bag, the measuring frame, and the gate area can help show what happened. A clear record is often important if you later ask for a refund or file a complaint.
