Ryanair, Easyjet and others fined for cabin luggage fees
Spanish authorities have slapped fines on budget airlines Ryanair, easyJet, Vueling and Volotea totalling 150 million euros ($163 million), consumer groups who lead a six-year campaign against the charges said on Friday. Spain's Consumer Rights Ministry fined the carriers for violating customer rights when charging for larger carry-on luggage, picking seats or boarding pass printouts, while not allowing cash payments at check-in desks or to buy items on-board, said consumer rights associations OCU and Facua which have been challenging the practices since 2018. OCU said in a statement it expected other European countries to follow suit and also to punish those same "abusive practices."
