From February, passengers on selected Jetstar fares will need to pay between $25 and $52 to store carry-on luggage in the overhead locker. The airline says the change will improve boarding efficiency and make travel easier for customers who only bring a small bag that fits under the seat. But critics say it’s another example of budget airlines charging extra for services that were once included. Aviation writer Robyn Ironside joins 10 News+ to explain what the changes mean, whether the fee is worth paying, and whether low-cost flying is still the cheaper option.
