Back to newsThe European Union has introduced a landmark air travel regulation requiring airlines to include hand luggage in the base ticket price. Major EU countries including Italy, Germany, France, Portugal, Spain, and Greece are now enforcing this rule, which directly affects low-cost carriers like Ryanair and easyJet that previously charged separately for cabin bags.
For tourists flying to Crete, this means the price you see when booking your flight must cover at least one carry-on bag. This improves fare transparency and eliminates surprise fees at checkout. Travelers should verify that their airline has updated its pricing structure to comply, as enforcement timelines may vary by carrier. When comparing fares for flights to Heraklion or Chania, the listed price should now reflect a more complete cost of travel.
