Transavia is implementing changes to its cabin luggage policy, effective April 3, 2024.
Passengers can still bring one small piece of hand luggage for free if it fits under the seat. However, for larger cabin luggage, an additional booking is required.
The decision is prompted by insufficient bin capacity and rising costs. The new policy aims to enhance the travel experience, starting at €10 for up to 10 kg of cabin luggage per single journey.
The transition applies to bookings made after April 3, while those booked earlier maintain the old conditions.
Comment: This looks like a new way to make more money for the airline. Indeed, the newly acquired Airbus A321neo aircraft have a lot more space in the luggage bins than the former Boeing 737-800 aircraft.
I don’t,it’s not only for the money the space in the cabin is always too small because you have to pay for your luggage so because this everyone takes a cabine luggage.
The 2 last flights with Transavia it was a big mess because of that they lost 10 minutes to resolve it so it’s a good solution.
Firstly, let pay the passenger for hold luggage. Secondly, of course a lot of people try to avoid these costs by flying with handluggage only. Why wonder about that? And then, thirdly, “because overhead bins are too small”, let pay the passenger for handluggage as well… Nope, this airline goes straight to my “do not fly”-list…
